Ethan Allen recently held its company-wide 2023 Virtual Convention,
livestreamed across North America, by celebrating its culture of
constant reinvention as America’s #1 Premium Furniture Retailer.
The global convention, which took place on
December 6, began with a keynote from Chairman, President and CEO
Farooq Kathwari, who congratulated the Company’s Retail Network
associates on a series of Grand Reopening events taking place
around North America. Images from each of these recent celebrations
are featured at www.ethanallen.com/grandreopenings.
Mr. Kathwari noted Ethan Allen’s strategic
repositioning as The Interior Design Destination across
its vertically integrated enterprise, crediting initiatives to
identify and retain both talented interior designers and
entrepreneurial leadership. He also highlighted the significant
updates to Design Center projections that took place in 2023 and
Ethan Allen’s commitment to manufacturing both high-quality and
relevant products, 75% of which are made in the Company’s North
American plants.
The celebratory event included more than 4,000
associates watching and participating in presentations held at the
Company’s Danbury, CT headquarters and virtually throughout design
centers, manufacturing plants, and distribution facilities around
the globe, while physically present at their locations.
Presentations from merchandising, manufacturing, logistics,
technology, marketing, retail and other departments highlighted the
many strengths of the Company and helped showcase its ability to
combine technology with personal service. Following the
presentations, Ethan Allen celebrated its annual Spirit Awards,
honoring interior designers both for achievement in written sales
and design excellence.
“We operate our business with common sense, we
are financially strong, and most important of all, we have a
tremendously talented group of people,” Mr. Kathwari said to
conclude the convention. “I look forward to seeing what each of our
interior designers will create in the new year as we continue to
strengthen our position as both America’s #1 Premium Furniture
Retailer and one of America’s Top 10 Retailers—and as The
Interior Design Destination.”
