2010 Lifetime Achievement

The Canadian Home Furnishings Alliance is proud to celebrate the contributions made by the 2010 Lifetime Achievement Award recipient:

Mr. Richard Magnussen
President and CEO, Magnussen Home

Richard Magnussen joined the Magnussen Home team in 1970 at the age of 20. Focused on growing and expanding the family business, Richard guided Magnussen Furniture to the position of Canada's largest occasional table supplier. After more than doubling the size of the all-Canadian manufacturing business, Richard saw new opportunity around the globe. He is now viewed by many, as a pioneer in Canada of importing furniture. Richard is recognized for upholding a culture of willingness to change.

Since 1931, the Magnussen family has been committed to the qualities of integrity, ingenuity, and style. These qualities have been instilled into the fine furniture the Company offers its customers today. Richard Magnussen has a personal commitment to these values and continues to be a force for positive change. Congratulations to Richard Magnussen, recipient of the Canadian Home Furnishings Alliance 2010 Lifetime Achievement Award.
