he 70 year old furniture line, originally out of San Diego, has recently expanded to a Toronto location. Completely family run, the line was originally started by the current designer, Mike Kreiss', mother. What seems to be the location for a relentless stream of furniture stores (it was Horsefeathers before), Kreiss' showroom is right at Shaftsbury and Yonge Street, making it ideal for Rosedale-ites in need of a home improvement. There, the affluent will find handmade furniture with materials like leather from Bali, and stone from Italy. Everything is customizable, so if something on display won't fit in your living room, Kreiss will make you a version that can. There is a mix of styles; everything from traditional suburban, yellowy-beige over-sculpted chairs, to sophisticated and streamlined off white sectional couches.

Actors have been known to cross over into singing, and vice versa. But since when do tennis stars become furniture designers? Husband and wife duo Andre Agassi and Stefanie Graf have teamed together with furniture chain Kreiss to create a line of stone and dark brown coloured furniture which is clean and classic. -C.S.
