Said he: "Our constitution has been patched and overhauled to the point where the original design is obscured and where present and future needs are obliterated...

For them, Kroehler has developed its "In Group" line: sofas and settees covered in shiny vinyl, chairs and chaises longues in velvet and wide-ribbed corduroy patterned with polka dots, scrolls...
