Farooq Kathwari Honored With Service to the Industry Award
13 December 2019 - 2:59AM
In honor of his contributions to the furniture industry over
several decades of leadership, Ethan Allen President, Chairman and
CEO Farooq Kathwari recently received the inaugural Service to the
Industry Award at the Furniture Today Leadership Conference in
Naples, Florida.
"I’m delighted to receive this award, and I’m proud of the
Leadership Principles we live by at Ethan Allen," said Kathwari.
“I’ve seen many changes in this industry during my tenure, and I’m
fortunate to serve in a business environment that provides many
challenges as well as great opportunities.”
The award comes on the heels of a memoir recently published by
Mr. Kathwari, entitled “Trailblazer: from the Mountains of Kashmir
to the Summit of Global Business and Beyond.” The book details his
journey from his boyhood in Kashmir to his leading role in shaping
the furniture industry, as steward of one of the world’s most
iconic furniture brands.
In addition to his work, Mr. Kathwari serves in numerous
capacities at several nonprofit organizations and has a particular
interest in issues that affect his homeland. Along with members of
congress he founded the Kashmir Study Group to help find a
peaceful, feasible and honorable solution for Kashmir. He was also
recently tapped to join the bipartisan, congressionally mandated
United States Institute of Peace Task Force on Extremism in Fragile
States, co-chaired by Governor Tom Kean and Congressman Lee
Hamilton, who formerly led the 9/11 Commission.
The Furniture Today Leadership Conference, which took place
December 3 to December 5, brought together nearly 500 of the
furniture industry’s most influential leaders. The annual
networking and educational event curates both inspirational
speakers and forward-thinking presentations, providing industry
leaders with the insights and information they need to guide their
businesses successfully into the future.
Mr. Kathwari has been president of Ethan Allen Interiors Inc.
since 1985, and chairman and CEO since 1988. To review a recent
