Our History

Thomas Interiors was founded on the idea that workplace is more than an office: It is a place for opportunity and human connection.

Founded in 1977 by Thomas Klobucher, we soon formed a partnership with Herman Miller that was based on a shared vision of what the workplace could be.  Throughout the next few decades, Thomas Interiors worked to establish a reputation for exceptional service, furnishing expertise, and the forging of strong and enduring relationships with clients.

When Tom’s son, Paul Klobucher, became company president in 1996, he wanted to build on the legacy his father started.  This meant maintaining a strong sense of service while growing into new markets.  He worked to build relationships with the A+D and real estate communities in Chicago, solidifying Thomas’s reputation as a trusted resource.  As these partnerships thrived, so did the company, almost quadrupling in growth within several years.

To ensure we never lost sight of our original goal, we tailored our company structure to ensure exceptional service for all clients while driving new business. Our Account Leaders focus on long-term services while New Business Teams engage new clients through A+D and real estate connections. Understating the unique skills required of each role, we’ve created a path for success by allowing our employees to focus on their strengths. Together these teams work to provide our clients with the highest level of service.

Recently, we hired a new CEO, Valerie Lawson, making us a majority women-owned and women-led company.  We are proud to take this significant step because we strongly support women's leadership in our company, in the workplace, and in the world.

Much like the evolution of the workplace, at Thomas we continue to adapt to the changes we see not only in our industry, but in the world. Our greatest strength is our ability to continue to learn and grow while remembering what brought us here.
