This month, Kyoto will proudly mark its 30th anniversary at the January Furniture Show at the NEC Birmingham (19th-22nd January), celebrating three decades of crafting quality upholstered furniture.
From its humble beginnings as a futon specialist to becoming a trusted name in furniture manufacturing and importing, Kyoto says it has continually evolved to meet the needs of retailers, independent stores and designers across the UK.
In 1995, Kyoto transitioned to a limited company and started manufacturing futons when demand outpaced supply.
Over the years, the company has grown from a small manufacturing unit in Peterborough to an established facility in Deeping St James – milestones include the automation of futon production in 2003 and a transformative business reinvention in 2013.
“Our 30-year milestone reflects the strong relationships we’ve built with our customers and the passion of our growing team,” remarks a company spokesperson.
Kyoto invites all industry professionals, partners and new connections to celebrate this milestone by visiting its stand (5-E01) at the show. A special timeline gallery wall will take attendees on a journey through the evolution of the Kyoto brand, highlighting its growth and innovations over the decades.
As Kyoto celebrates its past, it says it is equally focused on the future, with product development that prioritises customer needs – not only focusing on style and multifunction but long-lasting and environmentally responsible designs, ensuring that its products have a longer lifecycle and can be reused or recycled.
With exciting product launches, a rich history to explore, and a forward-thinking approach, Kyoto's presentation promises to be a stand-out opportunity at the 2025 January Furniture Show.
