About our Brands
Made in the United States since 1901
Since 1901 the Kindel Furniture Company has preserved an enduring heritage of craftsmanship, scholarship and authenticity. From inception, founder Charles J. Kindel had a vision to build the world’s finest furniture. Kindel has never wavered from this original vision. The legacy of the Kindel family 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 and commitment to 100% American-made furniture. While other companies have sought lower cost methods and offshore production, Kindel held a standard for domestic work, and today handcrafts 100% of their furniture in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Handsome, gracious, classic...
A collection of designs to reflect your own taste. Within these pages you will see settings differing widely in feeling. These looks and more can be achieved with Karges furniture. Good design with timeless lines can blend into any décor you choose. The insistence that each piece of furniture be part of a matched group is relatively recent in the long tradition of fine interiors.
Returning to the original idea that a desk or a cabinet has its own intrinsic beauty we have learned that our homes should express our own tastes rather than follow set rules. This allows every home to embrace a beautiful piece of art such is Karges by Hand.

History
Kindel Grand Rapids has maintained family ownership and is committed to keeping this niche of luxury, handcrafted furniture made in America. Under the direction of our owners, the tradition of craftsmanship and artistry is alive and growing in Grand Rapids.
The Kindel Furniture Company began making hand crafted furniture in the US in 1901, moved production to Grand Rapids in 1912 and has remained ever since. To this day Kindel Furniture is still made 100% in our Grand Rapids facility. Over the last 18 months Kindel Furniture acquired two other US furniture makers with common values, Karges Furniture of Evansville, Indiana founded in 1886 and Councill from Denton, North Carolina. All operations for both Karges and Councill have been moved to Grand Rapids. Together, this family of brands is stronger with their shared values, talents, and resources.
