Uttermost Decor

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

After gaining two generations of furniture manufacturing experience, Bob and Belle Cooper stepped out on their own to establish The Uttermost Company in 1975. Today, the Uttermost Company is still 100 percent owned by the Cooper family, with Mac and Taz Cooper managing the business with a prestigious management team behind them.

Uttermost is best known for their home décor. They are able to proudly stand behind their wide-ranging lines of mirrors, art, metal wall art, and clocks because of their stellar manufacturing processes. Uttermost does not carry two pieces of art that look the exact same; professionals use their years of experience when crafting each piece of art and metal wall art, thus creating a completely original piece every time. Uttermost’s commitment is evident in the pride that every artist takes in his or her work, which translates into superior quality home décor for the consumer.

One of Uttermost’s most distinguishing features in their lines of art and mirrors are the frames. The commitment to excellence at Uttermost has led them to two styles of frames – carved wood and molded polyurethane. With the time-tested manufacturing process, the only difference between the two options is price. The molded polyurethane frame feels and looks just like wood. Uttermost also offers frames in wrought iron or forged steel for certain pieces of art.

The finish is just as important as the frame itself to Uttermost. This is evident in the different styles of finishes that Uttermost offers. The most simple finishes come in one layer; however, the more attractive and elegant finishes require numerous steps which can include hand-laid metal leaf and hand-antiquing, which means that each frame is also one of a kind, just like the art.

In making a name for themselves as a manufacturer, Uttermost has developed quite a following of dedicated customers thanks to their superior quality products.

Uttermost Lighting

Uttermost has set itself apart from competition by offering one of the broadest selections of home lighting fixtures in the industry.  Along with the home lighting, Uttermost offers extensive lines of decor for your home, such as mirrors, art, lamps, and other accessories to make your home your own.

From the formation of The Uttermost Company in 1975 by Bob and Belle Cooper, Uttermost has been 100% owned by the Cooper family.  This came after two generations of furniture manufacturing by Bob and Belle Cooper, and the family has not looked back; the management team, which is made up completely of the Cooper family, has enjoyed steady growth for the past 32 years.  At the Rocky Mount, Virginia factory, approximately 290 employees craft the quality products Uttermost puts its name on.  In addition, a new state-of-the-art West Coast facility was built in 2006 in order to increase distribution capacity, provide faster shipping to West Coast Retailers, and to reduce freight costs to these Retailers.

The name Uttermost is taken from the Bible.  It refers to Acts 1:8, which says “to the uttermost part of the earth”.  This influences their marketing plan in that they offer their products to all parts of the earth.  Uttermost strives to conduct its business in a manner consistent with Biblical principles.

Uttermost has built itself on a belief that everyone in the corporation and everyone they do business with deserves respect.  The Uttermost culture is founded on the concept of partners in business.  From the designer to the craftsman to the retailer, everyone is dependent on each other; they are all partners in the business of excellence.

Uttermost introduced Lamps in the Spring of 2002, which quickly became the fastest growing major Lamp line in the country.  In addition, in January 2006, Uttermost introduced a complete line of lighting fixtures.  These fixtures are exclusively available through professional lighting retailers such as ourselves at LightingSale.com.
