The folks at Kindel Furniture wrote to let me know that they have launched a service nationwide, Kindel ReNew, where it will refurbish any of the 250,000 pieces of furniture it has made over the past 100 years at the same plant and using many of the same techniques as when they were manufactured.
Known worldwide for its fine furniture based on classic American designs, Kindel hand crafts its luxury furniture entirely in Grand Rapids, Mich. The refurbished furniture is certified as being redone at Kindel, which may also be able to provide information on the history of the piece.
This crib is the first piece refurbished as part of this unique program. Appropriately, the first piece of furniture completed under ReNew was a baby crib that former Kindel President Charles Kindel gave more than 80 years ago to the president of Baker Furniture, which once manufactured its products in Grand Rapids when the city was the nation’s fine furniture capital.
If you have a Kindel piece languishing in your basement or attic and are interested in learning more about this program, visit their website for contact information.
Green design and environmental awareness are all the rage right now. What better way to keep the landfills empty than to refurbish furniture made in classic ways, rather than just throw it out. Kindel may be the first company to do this, let’s hope they are not the last!
My mother in law, a proper New England matron that she was, had furniture that looked just like this, same wood, same style spindles. Ah, thanks for the trip down memory lane.
