German Kitchen Center (GKC) is pleased to announce the addition of Charles Yorke kitchens to its portfolio of ultra-luxury and premium value kitchen brands. The multi-brand European kitchen cabinetry retailer will now exclusively represent and display the English brand throughout its 17 showrooms in the United States.
Founded in November 1999 in Nottinghamshire, England, Charles Yorke is a leading English kitchen brand. Charles Yorke differentiates itself by combining traditional cabinet-making techniques with modern technology to create inspiring furniture from the very traditional style through to a more contemporary aesthetic. Using fine materials and finishes handcrafted in England, the brand specializes in luxury bespoke kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms and other living spaces, offering a completely tailored service to each client.
“We’ve been very fortunate at GKC to have found all the leading manufacturers in the world in every kitchen product category,” said says Mayan Metzler, owner and founder of GKC. “We are excited to add Charles Yorke to our offering as the leader in the category Bespoke English Furniture.”
Charles Yorke selects only materials from sustainable sources, and even the wood that isn’t used plays an important role; it fuels Charles Yorke’s biomass boiler generating heat for their premises, drying paint and helping the brand achieve a low carbon footprint overall. Additionally, the company chooses only water-based paints and lacquers in an effort to care for the natural environment.
“We are delighted to welcome the German Kitchen Center as our exclusive retailer for the American Market,” said James Ellis, Charles Yorke sales director. “We have been looking for the right retail partner for some time now and believe we have found that with Mayan and the team. The partnership comes at a great time for Charles Yorke as this year we will be celebrating our 20th anniversary and launching Volume Five of our Book of Furniture. We are excited about the collaboration and look forward to working together and building a fantastic relationship.”
