Nestled between the AP-7 motorway, the N-II national highway, and the railway line connecting Barcelona and Girona, in a village in the Selva region with fewer than 7,000 inhabitants, lies one of the ten fastest-growing European companies of the last decade: Kave Home. Its formula is quite unique, brimming with differentiating factors. It has become a "growth champion" by being headquartered outside a major city, operating as a 100% family-owned company, and reinventing one of the least modernized economic sectors: furniture. For the past three years, its CEO has been Francesc Julià Ametller (Girona, 1992), son of the founder of Julià Grup. What began with a small warehouse selling mattresses to hotels in Lloret de Mar is now a giant with over a thousand employees, most of them at its headquarters in Sils, having established a mid-range furniture model distinct from Ikea. "Making original, quality design affordable," in Julià's words. The former warehouse has been transformed into a cutting-edge company with hints of start-up More than selling furniture, it sells a concept of "how to live in your home."
