by DANBURY, Conn. — Ethan Allen recently hosted grand reopening celebrations in many of its Design Centers as part of a series of events unveiling the company’s reinvention as the Interior Design Destination.
Each ribbon-cutting offered guests a chance to peruse new products, meet each location’s interior designers and experience the newly refreshed and reimagined Design Center. Farooq Kathwari, chairman, president and chief executive officer, attended the New York City and Marlton, New Jersey, events.
“We are celebrating our 91st year and have always focused on the concept of constant reinvention. We have made major investments in technology in all areas, most recently empowering our interior designers to work with clients by combining personal service and technology,” Kathwari noted.
“We have developed a strong network of entrepreneurial leaders and interior designers as well as strengthened our product offerings under the umbrella of classics with a modern perspective. We’ve made major investments in our North American manufacturing, where we produce about 75% of our products. In addition, we’ve developed a unique and efficient logistics system, which enables us to deliver our products at one cost nationally,” Mr. Kathwari continued.
During the next few months, grand reopening events will continue to roll out in even more locations. Images from each celebration will be featured at www.ethanallen.com/grandreopenings.
“We are proud to celebrate our culture of constant reinvention, excited to start the next phase of Ethan Allen’s journey, and pleased to welcome both present and future clients to the Interior Design Destination,” Kathwari said.
