About Us

 

At La Place USA, we believe that exceptional furniture should blend style, durability, and affordability. Founded in 1998 by Maria and Hendrik Engel, our company was built on a passion for high-quality craftsmanship and timeless design.

Originally from Europe—Maria from the Dutch countryside and Hendrik from the heart of Amsterdam—they combined their love for chic farmhouse charm and sleek modern aesthetics to create a truly unique furniture collection. Driven by the dream of bringing handcrafted luxury to American homes, they left everything behind and settled in Fairhope, Alabama. What started as small tent sales quickly grew into a thriving business with storefronts in Fairhope and Destin.

Each year, Maria and Hendrik would travel to Indonesia, handpicking the finest solid teak and artisanal furniture that embodies quality and sustainability. Every piece is handmade, built to last, and carefully selected to complement a variety of home styles. Whether you’re looking for a statement piece or a full home transformation, we offer furniture that suits every budget without compromising on elegance.

At La Place USA, we make luxury living affordable. From classic to contemporary to rustic, our expansive selection includes:

Teak patio dining sets, bar sets & lounge chairs
Solid wood coffee & dining tables
Media centers, buffets & cabinets
Indoor & outdoor statement accessories

Explore our collection and discover furniture that turns your house into a home with character, comfort, and timeless beauty.

You can shop online and pick your items up at our Foley Warehouse or have them shipped/delivered to your home.

La Place USA Gives Back

Chic Teak Gives Back

A portion of all sales goes towards a small school in Indonesia and its amazing staff.                

The Story: On Hendrik and Maria’s travels, they grew to love the people of Indonesia and wanted to find a way to give back. In 2011, they began sponsoring a school in Indonesia and it was the perfect fit. Now, the school is filled with happy children that can receive quality education and finally have the chance for a better future.
