Unique. Non-conformist. Authentic.
KARE was founded in 1981 by Jürgen Reiter and Peter Schönhofen. They were German college students at the time, who thought the mainstream furniture market was boring, but they found that in order to achieve the fun, creative, unconventional style that excited them, their only option was to purchase a custom-made piece.
They wanted furniture that had the dramatic flair of a custom piece, but they couldn't afford the custom price.
So, their goal was to create beautiful, vibrant, and unique designs, but at an affordable price. They started in a 130-square-foot store in Munich, and forty years later they have over 120 franchises around the world, and they're still run by the original founders.
