The furniture company will debut a design studio with the e-commerce giant. It's about to get a lot easier to shop Ethan Allen. Fans of the 85-year old American brand will soon be able to turn to an unexpected source for the company's fine home furnishings: Amazon. Beginning this summer, Ethan Allen will establish a Design Studio on Amazon.com that will offer its furniture and accessories to the e-commerce giant's millions of visitors. "Simply, our presence on Amazon makes us more accessible to our clients, both longstanding and new," says Ethan Allen's chairman and CEO Farooq Kathwari. "The Amazon experience is one that millions of people enjoy every day, and it dovetails perfectly with our own standards of excellent service and the high expectation of customer satisfaction.” The move is a strategic one in an era of online shopping, coupling Ethan Allen's white-glove delivery and high-end furniture with Amazon's large-scale audience. It's also a victory for American manufacturing: though Amazon supports retailers from across the globe, 75 percent of Ethan Allen's furnishings are made in North America, where it operates nine manufacturing plants and a sawmill. "We look forward to offering our exceptional customer experience to the many fans of Amazon, as well as to our existing clients who already shop there," says Kathwari.
