Home décor shoppers have 6,500 more reasons to kick up their heels in the furniture district of trendy South Granville, now that KROEHLER COASTAL HOME has opened its doors at 1401 West 8th Ave, Unit 110.
KROEHLER COASTAL HOME’s new 6,500-square-foot home furnishings showroom, steps away from the city’s famous Gallery Row and the likes of Pottery Barn and Restoration Hardware, pays homage to comfortable, casual coastal living – regardless of whether customers are looking for items for their city home or weekend retreat. The Vancouver store marks the first stand alone to focus specifically on the Kroehler line, which is ISO 9001 certified. This year marks Kroehler’s one 100th year anniversary and is one of “Canada’s top three home furniture manufacturers”. The store offers over 150 styles of classic and contemporary sofas, chairs, recliners and ottomans – customizable through leg style and hundreds of quality leathers, fabrics and microfibres.
KROEHLER COASTAL HOME also carries several lines of tables, cabinets, area rugs, lighting, and other decorative accessories. In keeping with its focus on coastal and eco-friendly living, the store also specializes in imported exotic home furnishings from around the world. These items are made from a number of internationally celebrated materials, including plantation-grown Sheesham, plantation-grown Rosewood, Rubber wood (double-kiln dried to prevent cracking), Natural Abaca (made from banana tree bark and said to be the strongest natural fiber in the world) and Lampakanai (seagrass).
A proud supporter of local artistic talent, the store is currently exhibiting fine art Sophie Brunet, Jean Bonvini and James Picard . The store also carries PaperLuxe, a fashionable line of recycled cards, designed by local graphic designer Judy Bau, and Geoffrey Lane’s all-natural candles, consisting of food-grade waxes, pure cotton wicks and naturally-derived fragrances.
