With global manufacturing in Mexico, Vietnam, and China, Kuka Home will have a dedicated space for its Mexico-produced assortment, which now includes motion upholstery along with the original stationary seating and upholstered bed line.

The company also will debut updates to its Contemporary, Mediterranean, b social, and Relax Avenue collections.  

Kuka Home, which manufactures its own K-Tron mechanisms, has developed two new mechanisms with new features and benefits. The first is a deep-seat mechanism that allows for a thicker, loose cushion which creates an extra-soft seating experience.

The second is an improved high-leg mechanism that has no exposed wood frame and allows for modern metal legs and added space under the sofa for robotic vacuums. Compared with a regular high-leg mechanism, the packing height is reduced and loadability is increased by 10-15 percent.

The company is adding more functions to their motion products, such as USB-C ports to keep up with the evolution of technology. Functions have also been added to Relax Avenue, the promotionally priced motion upholstery line, that now includes dual power for infinite positions.

“We have enhanced our cover-to-frame merchandising by selecting on trend cover options in our Relax Avenue motion line,” said Matt Harrison, president of Kuka Home in North America. “This makes it easy to pair the right fabric or leather to the frame.  All fabrics are the same price, and all leathers are the same price, making your decision easier and adding value to your assortment,” he said.

At Furniture Market in High Point, Kuka Home’s full Mexico-produced line will be displayed in their showroom. Motion sofas and sectionals will be shown for the first time with the added benefit of the Mexico program, the line is available in over 30 different special-order fabrics.

This market, Kuka is putting emphasis on the contemporary style category and will display its stationery and motion contemporary designs in the same space. This signature Kuka collection will be expanded with new silhouettes and covers. These designs feature crisp profiles with futuristic flair, that mix comfort and function for the ultimate seating experience.

Kuka will also feature their Stationary Upholstery including their Mediterranean Collection, Casual Seating and B Social. In the dining and accents category, the company has developed several dining chairs, counter stools, and folding chairs.
