The new space will showcase a new direction for the 83-year-old brand. "This is an Ethan Allen some people may not recognize," says the company’s Chairman, President, and CEO Farooq Kathwari. "The products are relaxed and relevant to today's lifestyles, the technology on the floor is state of the art, and the Design Center itself is located where our customers live and play."
On display throughout the new Design Center, hundreds of classic new designs will be showcased in fully appointed yet completely livable dining rooms, living rooms, bedrooms, and media rooms. Clients can also find entryway and outdoor styles as well as furnishings for kids and teens rooms, rugs, drapery, lighting, wall décor, pillows, throws, lifelike florals and trees, and gifts for everyone on their list.
There will also be wall-mounted touchscreen monitors where shoppers can explore the world of Ethan Allen and a comfortable design studio. For those looking to take the guesswork out of design, a full staff of design professionals, each of whom carries a tablet PC to facilitate the creative process, will offer complimentary design services with in-store and in-home consultations.
“Our new Design Center is an inspiring destination in a great location,” said Managing Director Pamela Bemus. “We recently participated in the eleventh Annual Levis Commons Fine Art Fair, where fourteen of our Modern Masters pieces were displayed in the outdoor space in front of the new Design Center. It generated a lot of excitement about our pending return to the market, and people said they couldn’t wait for the grand opening! Of course, we couldn’t be happier to be back, and our design team looks forward to reintroducing Ethan Allen to Toledo!”
