THE MAN BEHIND THE NAME
This year, to kick off its 60th anniversary, the company is looking forward by
looking back, honoring the vision and focus of its founder Peter Pepper as a way of showcasing its
products. Through a legacy of design innovation, the company has been able to stay focused — and will
remain so — on brand development, product diversity and selection for all sectors of commercial
environments including corporate, healthcare, education, government and hospitality.
In 1952, drawing on a background rich in design, engineering, photography and sales, Peter Pepper
formed a company to fulfill the need for a product range that enriched environments through both their
aesthetic influence and their functional performance. Early products included wall sconce candelabras,
metal sculptures, geometric wood and aluminum boxes, clocks, occasional tables, walnut file and letter
trays and more. As the company grew, Peter Pepper started the category of accessories for the newly
emerging contract furniture market.
As Peter said, "the most important feature to be considered when selecting an accessory is good design."
Over the course of the next 60 years, through collaborations with multiple independent designers,
extraordinary customer service, and a work environment that fosters longevity, the company developed a
loyal following and grew to become the most recognized name for ancillary products, winning multiple
product design awards.
Today, Peter Pepper is known as 'the source' for contract accessories delivering the highest caliber of
design, producing an inspired product line of unparalleled selection for the architectural and design
community. Based in the Los Angeles area, operating their corporate offices and two manufacturing
facilities, PPP remains a family company, continuing the tradition of design excellence.
The spirit of Peter Pepper's original vision continues, with Sigi Pepper - President and CEO, Michael
Pepper - Director of Operations and Kip Pepper - VP of Sales and Marketing, along with over 100
dedicated employees and 70 sales people.
