Australian furniture design and manufacturer King Living now has two locations introducing the United States to its exclusively in-house designed and award-winning furniture.
King Living is expanding to the United States with the opening of two new showrooms in two of the largest interior design hubs with a location in California and Chicago.
Each showroom showcases King Living’s award-winning furniture, with design solutions for many commercial spaces including lounge, dining, outdoor, theatre rooms and lobbies, as well as rugs and lighting. Spoiler Alert: You’ll want these pieces in your next office project and your home.
While mostly building out spaces for residential clients, King Living Furniture has tracked the progress of the “hotelification” of the office. Work common spaces are looking more and more like living rooms and spaces that encourage comfortability while working.
We favour a relaxed, timeless aesthetic and many of our indoor designs are offered in outdoor versions, which creates that effortless flow between rooms.
— David King, King Living Founder
Showrooms That Are More Than Product Showcases
Prepare to have “aha” moments when Interior Designers see the infinite customization possibilities of the products and experience the King Living ability to adapt designs to specific project needs.
The showrooms are hubs for King Living trade partners. In fact, designers can use the showroom as a meeting space to connect with clients, discuss projects, and explore ideas in a setting that truly brings their vision to life. It’s all about creating a collaborative environment where inspiration can thrive.
Despite rapid global growth, King Living has continued to stay true to their roots, providing customers with furniture that embodies the authentic Australian lifestyle, a trend that’s been gaining significant popularity across international markets and helping drive expansion.
This isn’t about growth for growth’s sake, this is about our belief that we will improve the lives of customers who choose our furniture; we are passionate about bringing our designs and our engineering to those who appreciate the King Difference.
– David Woollcott, King Living CEO
The first USA showroom is in an impressive space in Costa Mesa, Orange County. This California location is the ideal introduction into the American market for King Living, due to architectural similarities to Australia, as well as synergies in mindset and appreciation of an indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
Indoor-outdoor living is synonymous with California and our designs are the perfect complement to this lifestyle
— David King, King Living Founder
Chicago was chosen as the ideal location for King Living due to it being one of the largest interior markets in the United States. The showroom, which is 9,990 square feet, is designed to create an immersive journey for customers, showcase the King Difference via every touchpoint, and spark creativity within the district’s collaborative interior design and home maker community. The Lincoln Park Chicago showroom allows customers to experience firsthand the King Living collection of sofas, living, dining, outdoor, and tables.
Chicago is one of the most incredible design destinations in the world and we are honored to be part of the vibrant community.
