DANBURY, Conn. -- Ethan Allen, a retailer and manufacturer of home furnishings, debuted its newest design center in Walnut Creek, Calif. One of several openings slated for 2022, including a recent opening in Westport, Conn., the center showcases Ethan Allen’s vast product portfolio while fostering collaboration between the company’s world-class interior designers and clients. 

The company said that the new design center "empowers clients" to work with its professional interior designers at fully equipped workstations, viewing both before-and-after photos and 3D floor plans of single rooms or even entire homes. Large, high-resolution screens bring digital design plans to life, so clients can preview an incredibly realistic version of their designed space before placing an order.

“Our new Design Center projects the variety of our styles of classic design with a modern perspective and rooted in our commitment to combining personal interior design service with 3D technology,” said Ethan Allen Chairman and CEO Farooq Kathwari. “Our design service is complimentary, and it’s offered in the Design Center, at clients’ homes, or via virtual appointment, from planning to ordering and delivery support.” Mr. Kathwari also noted: "Because we make about 75% of our products in our own North American workshops, we can offer compelling value and competitive delivery, even in these challenging times."
