JEFFERSON CITY, TENN.—Longtime industry veteran, Peter Mandel, has created an exclusive collection of internationally known brands of Italian designed seating to be manufactured and represented in North America under Motivo Furniture.
Mandel has more than 30 years of experience in the design trade and hospitality industries. His accomplishments include managing the national product launches for Ariston Hospitality, Archetype Furniture and Westwood Interiors. He also created the furniture division (Duralee Fine Furniture) for Duralee Fabrics, managing every aspect of operations that included design of the product line from conception to fabrication, marketing, building the nationwide sales force and driving revenue. He has also served 20 years as an owner of a wholesale, to-the-trade showroom, as well as owner of two nationally distributed furniture lines.
“The timing is right and the opportunity is here considering all the factors that drive products and sales in the hospitality sales channel,” Mandel said. “I believe that Motivo Furniture has the capabilities and capacity to become a valued and trusted source for the hospitality and contract sales channels. The company will quickly become a resource for connecting people with significant opportunities on a vast selection of both standard and custom product. Motivo will have a truly seamless process in the total manufacturing cycle. This concept is only part of our competitive edge. The importance of local control, meeting green or sustainability requirements and offering globally famous brands under their own label that are made in the USA is now unique in the industry.”
