2025 marks Uttermost’s 50th anniversary – a milestone we couldn’t have achieved without strong faith, family, and a passion for design and innovation. From a lumber company founded by the grandparents of our President, Mac Cooper, to a present-day, industry-leading wholesale furniture design company, we celebrate this accomplishment by highlighting our growth.
Seventy years ago, Mac Cooper’s grandfather opened a lumber company that built hardwood furniture. In 1975, his parents, Belle and Bob Cooper, introduced a division of that company in Rocky Mount, Virginia, named Uttermost. Inspired by Acts 1:8, Uttermost was built on a foundation of sharing its products with the world and grew as a result of that same faith.
The company started out with only wall decor, then expanded shortly after into lighting and then furniture, which is now our largest offering. Today, Uttermost carries over 5,000 products amongst a variety of categories and design styles, and owns several stand-alone brands, like REVELATION and Salt & Light, that have allowed us to resonate with some of the most renowned retailers, designers, and hotels in the world.
Most recently, we launched our Outdoor Collection, another achievement that represents the growth and success we’ve accomplished with the help of our team and our customers.
Our Outdoor Furniture collection represents our continuous evolution and forward-thinking approach to design. A brand new collection unlike anything we’ve ever done before, we’ve created an extensive assortment of outdoor furniture and decor customers can choose from to bring a fully realized outdoor space to life.
With close to 200 different items to choose from, these expertly crafted items have the durability to withstand exterior elements, with uncompromised design. We’ve also simplified the logistics for you – customers can streamline purchasing by combining orders across our brands and product lines, maximizing efficiency and savings. This, along with our innovative, original, upscale designs, reflects our continued ability to satisfy the needs of our customers.
As we reflect on the past 50 years, we can’t help but think of how much there’s left to accomplish. We are deeply grateful for how much we’ve been able to grow with the help of our dedicated, passionate team, and the unwavering support of our customers. Here’s to the next 50 years of creating beautiful spaces, lasting relationships and designs for future generations to come!
