Danbury, Conn. - March 1, 2012 - Chairman, President and CEO
of Ethan Allen, Farooq Kathwari, joined the Princeton
Regional Chamber of Commerce to host a ribbon-cutting
ceremony and fundraising event benefiting the Arts Council of
Princeton on February 23, 2012. The festivities were in
celebration of the grand opening of the new interactive Ethan Allen Design
Center in Princeton. The interior of the 13,000-square-foot
facility at 3524 Route One North (at Meadow Road) has been
fully renovated.
"The new Design Center allows us to better showcase products
from our 5 Signature Lifestyles. The majority of these
products are new designs that we have launched since
September of 2011-and with more to be released over the next
few months, for a total of 60% of new products," said Mr.
Kathwari. To get started on their design projects, clients
are now able to use innovative design tools at the Design
Center or at ethanallen.com/my projects, where they can
design online and collaborate with design pros from the
comfort of their own homes.
The grand opening event drew several notable guests,
including Mayor Shing-Fu Hseuh of West Windsor Township;
Mayor Yina Moore of Princeton Borough; Congressman Rush Holt;
Princeton Chamber of Commerce President, Peter Crowley; and
Executive Director of the Arts Council of Princeton, Jeff
Nathanson. They and other guests mingled and toured the
state-of-the-art facility, where the
newest Ethan Allen products, arranged in eye-catching
room displays, took center stage. Items up for silent auction
included custom jewelry, original works of art, gift
certificates for fine dining and spa services, and
furnishings from the company's own 5 Signature
Lifestyles. All proceeds from the auction went to the
Arts Council of Princeton in support of their mission to
build community through the arts.
Noting that Ethan
Allen has been part of the American landscape for nearly
80 years and that the company values every community it
serves, Mr. Kathwari added, "We appreciate the warm response
we have received from our friends in Princeton and the
surrounding communities. Our focus on providing not only
diversity of style and good value but also complimentary
design service and white-glove home delivery continues to set
us apart from the rest. We look forward to the continued
expansion of our Design Center network in the months
ahead."
Ethan Allen plans to open new Design Centers in the U.S. and
abroad this year.
