CORPORATE CURIOS

Factoids

Did you know that Kreiss Collection is one of only a handful of international furniture business that is still family owned?

Coached by their father Norman, brothers Michael, Robert and Thomas pursued All-American tennis careers and were internationally ranked?

A Booming Market

It is not an overstatement to say that the Kreiss Collection is perfectly poised to capture the attention - and demand - of the growing fine-home-furnishings market. Here's why:

The largest concentration of discretionary income is now entering its most powerful growth cycle. As active-mature adults, aging-affluent baby boomers and the up-and-coming-me generation around the world acquire more wealth and sophistication, the trend towards cocooning (creating a luxurious home environment) will continue to grow.

These consumers - early 30's to late 60's - enjoy spending money on pleasurable activities. Whether it's escaping stressful work-week lives, entertaining friends and families or furnishing a second or redesigned home, they are seeking new ways of improving their quality of life and creating their own special living environment. Highly informed and aware of the choices out there, they rely on respected sources of authority to tell them where to go and what to buy.

Kreiss has been successful in marketing itself through beautifully designed showrooms in strategic locations, eye-catching consumer advertising and elegantly designed catalogs and brochures. Of course, the most effective marketing tool is the product itself - which seems perfectly designed for this new bread of contemporary luxury-seeking consumers.

Celebrity Clientele

Over the years the Kreiss Collection has attracted a loyal following of clients that includes world leaders, international celebrities and captains of industry. Here is just a sampling of the many luminaries who have turned to Kreiss for their home furnishing or interior design needs:

  • Muhammad Ali
  • Boris Becker
  • Johnny Carson
  • Jimmy Connors
  • Gerald Ford
  • Frank Gifford & Kathie Lee
  • Wayne Gretzky
  • Janet Jackson
  • Magic Johnson
  • Michael Jordan
  • Heather Locklear
  • Joe Montana
  • Ronald Reagan
  • Lionel Ritchie
  • Kenny Rogers
  • Frank Sinatra
  • Bruce Springsteen
  • Dominique Wilkins
  • Bruce Willis
  • Steve Lawrence & Edie Gourmet
  • Travis Tritt
  • Reba Macintyre

States President and CEO Michael Kreiss, "Frank Sinatra and Bruce Springsteen bought pretty much the same pieces. One thinks it's a classic, and the other thinks it's hip." Indeed, great furniture, like great music, is timeless.

Customizing in a Big Way

When you stand 6 feet, 9 inches tall, and weigh 235 pounds, conventional furniture just doesn't measure up. So Kreiss Collection Chairman and CEO Michael Kreiss arranged to have all of Magic Johnson's furniture and most of his accessories adjusted to the superstar's dimensions. Magic says the overall result was a house perfectly tailored to fit its occupant: "I have a house that truly fits me."

Recently featured in In-Style Magazine, Magic is right at home with his family and custom furniture.
