Furniture retailer King Living is expanding its footprint into North America, opening its first US showroom in Orange County, California late this year.

“After decades of research, we’ve crafted a space that aims to both inspire Californian residents as well as reflect our inherent dedication to authentic Australian design,” said King Living founder David King.

The new showroom will feature sofas, luxurious dining ranges, contemporary bed and mattress ranges, and outdoor collections.

The company intends to open a second US showroom in Chicago, followed by a second showroom in Canada – in Calgary – next year.

“The US is key to the King Living global expansion strategy and the market provides us with an unapparelled growth opportunity,” said David Woollcott, CEO at King Living.

The Australia-headquartered company said the success of its stores in New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Canada, the UK and China was a key factor in its decision to expand into the US.

“This isn’t about growth for growth’s sake, this is about our belief that we will improve the lives of customers who choose our furniture; we are passionate about bringing our designs and our engineering to those who appreciate the King Difference,” said Woollcott.
