Heritage

Heritage

Established in 1922 and built over four generations, AF | New York is a global brand located in the Flatiron District of Manhattan.

AF | New York is a diverse business. From our beginnings in New York as an early wholesale distributor of bath and kitchen supplies to our move towards product design and the launch of the first-ever architectural-specified showroom dedicated to bath spaces, our long heritage is defined by pivotal moments of innovation.

However, over the years one thing has remained the constant: we are a family-owned business with traditional values. Hard work, passion, knowledge, and integrity have been passed down through the generations and continue to guide AF | New York to this day.
