01
Artifact Overview
La-Z-Boy co-founders Edwin Shoemaker and Edward Knabusch built the company's first factory with very little outside help, completing it by 1928. The cousins planned for efficiency in their three-story structure from the start, but they always looked for ways to improve the factory layout and manufacturing process.
