Making Their Las Vegas Debut
Kathy Ireland Kids
Is a collaboration with KozyKids, LLC to fill a void in the kids/teen furniture market and will make their first appearance together at this summer’s Las Vegas Market. Furniture designer, Carol Russo, has over 30 years’ experience designing and selling high-end kids’ furniture and along with Kathy Ireland is bringing a product to the Las Vegas Market that will be manufactured here in the United States. The emphasis is on quality, safety and functionality. Their concept is to make the experience of choosing your child’s bedroom furniture a fun experience for the entire family while making sure Kathy Ireland Kids furniture is made of the best solid wood and other materials available today. To quote Ms. Russo, “today’s consumer is a more savvy shopper and is much more aware of health and safety concerns than ever before, especially when their children are involved. Kathy Ireland Kids was designed to fill that void. By producing our furniture here in the U.S., we can make sure our strict guidelines are followed and can take the guesswork out of choosing a safe product for your family.”
KozyVEND
Is leveraging 40+ years in the furniture business, leveraging logistics & technology to create the first Furniture Vending Business and you can get your share. Vending is a trillion-dollar global phenomenon with new players entering the industry offering high-risk, low-return offerings, compared to Furniture vending. You can look at a KozyVending Machine, like a fully stocked furniture store, but instead of spending hundreds of thousands in inventory and tens of thousands a month on traditional overhead, you have the same potential profit potential for your location. Make sure you stop by for a presentation.
SONU
Is a sleep technology and engineering brand that is devoted to dramatically improving the future of sleep. SONU’s introduction of the world’s first mattress designed specifically for side sleepers has revolutionized the space. The SONU Sleep System mattress finally allows arms and shoulders to rest naturally where they’re meant to, enabling top-quality, deep sleep throughout the night. SONU’s patented Comfort Channel and Support Pillow system molds to each sleeper’s desired position, greatly reducing pressures that are unavoidable with all other mattresses. The result is a truly unique level of comfort and an unforgettably relieving sleeping experience. These features have caught the attention of the sports world, as professional athletes, health and fitness experts alike all rely on their SONUs to improve recovery, breathing and quality of sleep every night to enhance their performance every day. With many endorsements and video reviews from thrilled professionals, SONU’s innovations are making waves in the mattress industry.

HoSTTech
The new material for furniture is here to change the industry and save you money, effort, carbon emissions, and landfill space, as it increases productivity and durability. Developed at MIT, this material, made of engineered cellulose fibers, is lighter, stronger, compressible and 100% biodegradable. The furniture industry has used the same materials for decades, wood, metal, coils, and elastics. HoSTTech is here to make the manufacturing process simpler and faster since it takes 50% less time to manufacture a 3-seater sofa using HoSTTech versus the traditional materials. This means fewer energy, operators, and components to buy and manage. It simply means doing more with less. According to the EPA (US Environmental Protection Agency), more than 12 million tons of furniture and furnishings (sofas, tables, chairs, and mattresses) went to waste in 2018, and from that, only 40 tons were recycled. These numbers are only going up unless manufacturers start using better, more sustainable materials, like HoSTTech, which is 100% recyclable and 100% biodegradable, in addition to having a life span much longer than the 5-10 years usually seen in the industry. HoSTTech, inspired by nature’s Honeycombs, is compressible, before and even as a finished product, which translates into 1/3 of the space needed for material and finished product storage. Not to mention shipping, where you can fit 3x more sofas in a 40′ container. This new material, HoSTTech, has been successfully used in stationary and modular sofas, ottomans, bed bases, pods, and stools. It provides product designers with an array of options when it comes to length, depth, height, and armrest types. HoSTTech’s design team works hand in hand with manufacturers to ensure the adoption process is simple and benefits are optimized. HoSTTech is here to bring simplicity and performance to furniture manufacturing while being kind to the world.
