One of the leaders in the industry of home furnishings design, production, and distribution, Kravet has been distributing a wide range of fabrics, furniture, trimmings, carpets, wall coverings, and decorative accessories to the trade for more than 90 years. Expanding from a family-managed fabric company in 1918, Kravet today is an international leader in the home furnishings market, offering a wealth of brands and representing the best designers in showrooms across the globe.

A Story that Began in 1918:  An industry leader in home furnishings, Kravet first stared in 1924 when Samuel Kravet, a Russian immigrant, arrived in the United States and offered tailoring services to a wealthy clientele. Named S.Kravet & Sons upon its inception, it is now a fourth-generation company and the largest privately owned distributor of fabrics and furnishings.  The founder's sons formed the company by distributing textiles and trimmings to the interior design market in 1924, and opened a Manhattan showroom in 1938.  In 1960, the company changed its name to Kravet Fabric Inc. It was during this period that the company opened additional offices in Long Island and furthered its expansion by distribution their products on the international market. Fourth-generation family members entered the business during the 80's and further growth required the business to open new warehouses in New York and South Carolina. Between 1990 and 1993 new brands and divisions were added to the company, and in 1995 Lee Jofa was purchased by Kravet. The company also acquired GP & J Baker in 2001 and Sea Cloth for Lee Jofa in 2008.
