Saying Goodbye to Larry Kravet
Larry Kravet died peacefully at home on March 7. He is credited with transforming a small, local fabric jobber into
Kravet Inc.-North America's largest integrated to the trade wholesaler of decorative home products. He was the
third generation of a now-five-generation family company. Kravet Inc. now owns brands including: Kravet, Lee
Jofa, Brunschwig & Fils, Groundworks, and G.P.&J. Baker.
Larry was born in Brooklyn and volunteered in 1943 to serve in World War II as a Navy medic on a ship in the
Pacific. He graduated from Long Island University with a business degree in 1948 and joined what was then S.
Kravet and Sons in 1949, the same year he married Utta Falkowitz. After serving in the military again in the Korean
War, Larry resumed working at what became Kravet Inc. for the next 60 years.
As the company celebrates its 100th anniversary, Kravet Inc. recognizes that Larry was around for much of that
time. His family credits his ingenuity and dedication to the home and design industry for the company's continued
success and plans to continue his legacy.
