About KARE
If you have a liking for the unconventional, KARE is the one-stop home furnishing store for you. Far from the typical, our store is also a trend show that features furniture and styles themed by the season. Founded in Munich, KARE was brought into Malaysia to fill a rather large gap in the market - the demand for hyper-creative living spaces.
We bring import approximately 1500 funky pieces each year all the way from Germany, for our customers who are style-seekers, designers, fashion enthusiasts and artists. That’s why every concept and every piece of furniture we have has got to be unique, provocative, bold and loud - not many retailers offer this kind of style.
About the design
When you pass by KARE, it’s hard to not stop and stare. The goal is to drastically set ourselves apart from the norm - the boring. The Momento brick wall in our space, is the most talked-about piece so far. We’ve had customers gasp and drop their jaws when we told them that it’s paint and not real brick, and that’s exactly the impression we want to make.
