Since 1976, BENNETT’s mission has been to source and curate the best furniture, gifts, custom framing, art, jewelry, and accessories for clients and friends. What began as a custom frame shop has now transformed into a stunning, two-floor showroom that is renowned in the Southeast as a premier retailer of home furnishings and fine art, provider of full-service residential and commercial interior design, and home of BENNETT To The Trade, its wholesale division.
Ensuring BENNETT’s success along the way are owner Jeannie Bennett, and managing director Robert Shipley. In addition to running the Knoxville, Tennessee-based showroom, Jeannie and Robert extend themselves often into the community, partnering with regional artists to raise funds for Second Harvest Food Bank and working in partnership with the Knoxville Community School for the Arts.
