Founded in 1998 by Chris Bruning, Groovystuff utilizes reclaimed materials in the design, production, and distribution of rustic, contemporary, and eco-friendly commercial and residential furniture, lighting, and home decor at upper-medium to high-end price points. Designed for today’s lifestyles and inspired by yesterday’s antiquities, Groovystuff now offers eight unique residential and commercial collections: Prairie, Iron Horse, Adirondack, Back to the Roots, Kodiak, Rocky Mountain, Antares Lighting and the recently launched Moonshine reclaimed steel drum collection. Each group features pieces designed with the foundation of style, value, longevity, and preservation of natural resources. Based in Dallas, Groovystuff has permanent showrooms in High Point, NC (The Suites at Market Square, G-1025), Las Vegas (World Market Center, B-146), and once a year at the International Casual Furniture Market in Chicago, IL (The Merchandise Mart, No. 8-9036A). Groovystuff's not-for-profit 2013 ICON Achievement Award Winning “University Hall of Innovation & Job Creation” and “Groovystuff by Design Challenge” represent a breakthrough approach to the nurturing of home furnishings design talent in partnership with leading U.S. colleges and universities. Recognized by ICON for “Industry Contribution & Influence,” the Groovystuff foundation was established in 2010 by Chris Bruning to improve the competitiveness of consumer products here in the US by providing students with job opportunities and presenting professors and students with an invaluable opportunity to network with retailers, designers, manufacturers, suppliers, journalists, and industry professionals at the High Point Market. Since inception, the Groovystuff initiative continues to supply the residential home furnishings industry with the most current education, research, market statistics, technology, product design, and innovation as well as a revolving human resource of graduates from the educational programs and universities that service our industry.
