A LITTLE HISTORY
The Kindel Furniture Company has created and preserved a background of craftsmanship, authenticity, and scholarship since 1901. Founder Charles J. Kindel’s vision was to start the world’s finest furniture and for the last 100+ years the company has upheld his vision.
The legacy of the Kindel family transferred ownership in 1964 when Kindel was purchased by John Fisher of Muncie, Indiana. The Fisher family has maintained family ownership for over 50 years with a dedication and commitment to 100% American-made furniture. While other companies have sought lower cost methods and offshore production, Kindel held a standard for domestic work, and today handcrafts 100% of their furniture in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Recent acquisitions of Karges Furniture (Evansville, Indiana) in 2014 and Councill Furniture (Denton, North Carolina) in 2015 have positioned the company uniquely as the preeminent, luxury furniture brand made in the United States that is committed to bench-made methods and superior craftsmanship.
The three brands are joined in the Kindel factory and collectively are known today as Kindel Grand Rapids. Each of these brands bring unique design elements and distinctive value propositions to our clients. Kindel, Karges, and Councill are stronger together and each complements the other in the marketplace.
