KARE’s collections—featuring furniture, lighting, and home decor accessories—and, above all, the creative atmospheres of various styles attract the attention of consumers, business partners in the furniture industry, professional interior designers, and franchise partners.
Retail, wholesale, franchising, e-commerce

KARE Design GmbH operates its own stores in Munich, Regensburg, and Vienna, Austria. Among them is the flagship store “KARE Kraftwerk,” which opened in Munich in 2014 and features a 10,000-square-meter showroom, an interior design studio, and a restaurant with a rooftop terrace, all housed in a well-known industrial landmark in the city. The flagship store received the “Shops of the Year 2015” award from the German Retail Association (Handelsverband Deutschland). In Germany, this pioneer in the furniture market also sells its products through its own online store.
