Kindel

Kindel Grand Rapids is an American luxury furniture brand known for handcrafted, made-to-order pieces produced at its home facility in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The company traces its heritage to 1886, when Albert F. Karges began making furniture in Evansville, Indiana, and to 1901, when Charles J. Kindel founded the Kindel Furniture Company with the vision of building the world's finest furniture. Today, Kindel Grand Rapids operates as a family-owned business that has preserved an enduring heritage of craftsmanship, character, and authenticity across generations. The brand offers made-to-order furniture that bears the customer's signature style, spanning styles such as Timeless, Mid-Century Modern, Urban Modern, Transitional, Hollywood Glam, Organic Coastal, Minimalist, Bohemian, and Industrial. Its product categories include dining, occasional, bedroom, and workspace furniture. Kindel Grand Rapids positions itself as offering the finest American-made furniture, emphasizing 100% domestic production even as other companies have pursued lower-cost methods and offshore production. Kindel Grand Rapids as it is recognized today was formed when Kindel Furniture acquired the Karges and Councill Furniture companies. With over 300 years of collective experience, Kindel, Karges, and Councill reflect the best in American craftsmanship, quality, and timeless design. The company transferred ownership in 1964 when Kindel was purchased by John Fisher of Muncie, Indiana; the Fisher family has maintained family ownership for over 50 years with a dedication to 100% American-made furniture. The brand maintains a virtual 3D showroom tour to let customers experience its furniture in a 3D environment. Kindel Grand Rapids continues to produce luxury, handcrafted furniture made to the precise specifications of the customer from its Grand Rapids, Michigan facility.

The heritage of Kindel Grand Rapids spans two intertwined stories. In 1886, Albert F. Karges, a first-generation immigrant, invested $600 to begin making moderately priced, American-style furniture out of local hardwoods in Evansville, Indiana. His son, Edwin Karges Sr., started incorporating the European-inspired designs that would set Karges on the path to becoming the brand it is today. Five generations of the Karges family have continued to carry on Edwin Sr.'s passion and produce the majestic pieces Karges is recognized for around the country. In 1901, Charles J. Kindel founded the Kindel Furniture Company with the vision to build the world's finest furniture. Now, over a century later, that vision remains unchanged. Each generation of this family-owned business has preserved an enduring heritage of craftsmanship, character, and authenticity. Every piece of luxury, handcrafted furniture is still made to the precise specifications of the customer from the company's home facility in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The company transferred ownership in 1964 when Kindel was purchased by John Fisher of Muncie, Indiana. The Fisher family has maintained family ownership for over 50 years with a stalwart dedication to 100% American-made furniture. While other companies have sought lower-cost methods and offshore production, Kindel has championed a standard for domestic work. Kindel Grand Rapids, as it is recognized today, was formed when Kindel Furniture acquired the Karges and Councill Furniture companies. With over 300 years of collective experience, Kindel, Karges, and Councill reflect the best in American craftsmanship, quality, and timeless design. The brand continues to offer made-to-order furniture in a wide range of styles and maintains a virtual 3D showroom tour for customers.
