About

In 1979, the late Paul E. Walsh founded Island Furniture Association, a not-for-profit organization manufacturing furniture and employing intellectually challenged individuals. The objective of this newly established organization was to become a viable business entity creating “real jobs” for intellectually challenged persons.

Since inception, we have successfully trained, employed and co-oped salaries of numerous intellectually challenged young adults throughout Newfoundland and Labrador. Over the years, we have evolved to become one of Newfoundland and Labrador’s leading suppliers of office furniture.

We continue to support and encourage intellectually challenged young adults to become productive members of society.

  • We currently employ seven individuals with intellectual challenges throughout all divisions of the company.
  • Since 2000, we have dispersed in excess of $7 million to various Supported Employment Agencies, businesses and charitable organizations across the province.
  • Funding has provided more than 1,500 job placements for intellectually challenged persons with a percentage outside the St. John’s area.

Island Office has just been recognized with the Global Furniture Group’s Premier Dealership award for 2025 in Newfoundland and Labrador. This prestigious accolade highlights Island Office’s commitment to excellence in providing innovative and high-quality furniture solutions. This award underscores our dedication to customer satisfaction and our strong partnership with Global Furniture Group, a great Canadian company that manufactures right here in Canada. As a leading provider in the region, Island Office continues to set the standard for exceptional service and design in the Commercial Furniture Industry.

Our heart and soul is in our community support
