Kährs - Celebrating 160 years of quality and beauty
From a local wooden utility goods craftsman, deep in the forests of southern Sweden, to a world-leading inventor and producer of modern hardwood floors. The 160-year history of Kährs is the story of our strong passion for nature and the environment; for wood as a material and for interior design, combined with innovative thinking and a commitment to the highest quality standards.
Today, Kährs beautiful and durable wood floors are available in more that 60 markets worldwide - more than any other manufacturer on the globe. Kährs is one of the oldest and most innovative manufacturers of wood floors in the world. It is also the biggest flooring manufacturer in Europe today.
Nature and nature’s material is more in vogue than ever. More and more people are exploring new ways to bring nature into their homes- from using natural material in furniture and home decoration, to erasing borders between inside and out. This brings with it an increased focus on floors, which more than any other interior design element can reinforce and bring in a natural feel. For us at Kährs, nature has always been in fashion.
We started working with wood 160 years ago in the town of Nybro, Sweden, where we still have our base and main production. During Downtown Design 2017, we will be launching our new Kährs wood floors in innovative sustainable designs, finishes and colours.
