Blueprint Acquires 15,000-Square-Foot Facility in High Point

Blueprint, the home and hospitality design house formerly known as Blueprint Lighting, has acquired a 15,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in High Point, North Carolina. Spanning two buildings, the space will lay the groundwork for Blueprint’s upcoming furniture launches.
Furniture has long been part of Blueprint’s story. Before focusing on lighting, founders Kelly and Josh Aaron began their careers in the design industry selling professionally refinished, reupholstered, and restored Mid-Century pieces. Before founding Blueprint Lighting, they also developed a collection of original designs, including cast brass and bronze benches, dining tables, and upholstered ottomans and chairs. For Kelly and Josh, returning to furniture felt like a natural next chapter in the company’s evolution, with the first designs expected to launch in early 2027.
“Establishing ourselves in High Point feels like a timely full-circle moment for us,” says Kelly Aaron, co-founder of Blueprint. “We’ve focused almost exclusively on lighting for the last 10 years, giving us the time to refine our design voice and manufacturing processes. Returning to furniture with this dedicated space in the capital of the industry allows us to create pieces with a more distinct perspective and a deeper understanding of how thoughtful design translates into production.”
Currently equipped to manufacture solid wood chair frames and upholstered furniture, the facility is undergoing a series of renovations and equipment upgrades, including the introduction of modern 3- and 4-axis CNC machinery. Blueprint has retained the facility’s four existing employees and continued production without interruption, with orders already completed and shipped under the brand’s ownership. Blueprint also plans to hire locally and relocate members of its team as production ramps up.
As Blueprint celebrates its 10th anniversary, the acquisition comes amid a period of significant growth marked by new showroom space opening in early 2027, a new lighting collaboration with master woodworker Krasnogorov Studio, and a broader refinement of the brand’s identity. The Krasnogorov x Blueprint collection represents Blueprint’s latest foray into more artistic, sculptural work, and offers a glimpse of what’s to come for its in-house furniture collection. While the High Point facility significantly expands Blueprint’s manufacturing capabilities, the brand’s creative ethos remains rooted in New York City, where its design studio and growing network of collaborators continue to shape its vision.
“Furniture opens up an entirely new set of creative possibilities,” said Josh Aaron, co-founder and creative director of Blueprint. “We’re ready to explore fresh forms, materials, and proportions in ways that build on our experience in lighting, but with even more freedom to experiment.”
