  CasaVerde speaks to Jonathan Webb of KI Furniture
  

  Hey Everyone-
  
  I don't know about you, but I learned a lot on today's show!  And I even spent a 1/2 hour w/Jon at NeoCon!
  
  KI is the 6th largest case goods supplier in the country.  They are made in the US, 100% employee owned and headquartered in Green Bay WI.  KI's primary market is higher education and K-12 facilities, however, healthcare, corporate and government organizations are also represented.  Furniture CAN be used residentailly though, as you will see when you go to the website!  While KI primarily deals with larger design and architectural firms for end use, a client can call on their own, or go through their own designer to go about purchasing product for their project.  (If in doubt, contact me and I'll act as your liason).
  
  What I LOVE about this company is that they walk their talk.  Not only do they utilize recycled materials in their product, but THEY recycle everything in the manufacturing process from the water used in the textile factory to packaging.  Volunteerism by the employees to help keep the company grounds AND the surrounding community is also a trait of KI and their environmental commitment.
  
  Check them out...you won't be disappointed!
  
  Here is KI's main webpage:

  Here is the main phone # as well, if you have any questions.  You get to speak to a REAL person too!
