The company offers a wide range of built-to-order spa and wellness furnishings, including relaxation loungers with electronic adjustment, LED lighting, heat, massage and the company’s bio-hacking Mind-Sync technology for stress reduction and sleep. The company also excels in pedicure and nail care designs, featuring space-saving mani-pedi combo chairs such as the distinctive Maestro Opus.
Counting the likes of Accor, Marriott, Auberge Resorts, Canyon Ranch, Kempinski, Mandarin Oriental and Rosewood as clients, Living Earth Crafts is regularly recognised with awards and accolades from ISPA, American Spa Magazine, Green Spa Network, NailPro Magazine and more.
In this profile Jim Chenevey, president and CEO, discusses future innovations and what’s in store for the company.
What can the industry expect next from Living Earth Crafts? 2024 is set to be our most innovative year yet, with groundbreaking products in red light therapy, grounding and EMF protection, stress reduction and acoustic resonance.
What innovations are on the way? We’re thrilled to announce a significant update to our award-winning flagship treatment table, the Century City. This update features the luxurious Strata Cloudfill II Mattress with a more plush formulation, dual-zone warming, EMF protection and an innovative grounding feature to enhance comfort and healing.
Additionally, our new Insignia 2.0 Collection boasts two new base designs, the Cloudfill II Mattress and a smoother, whisper-quiet electric lift system. Both lines support our optional patent-pending Conforma Lux chest comfort system, which is exclusive to Living Earth Crafts.
What differentiates Living Earth Crafts from its competitors? Innovation is at our core, driving our position as a leading global equipment supplier. We focus on three key pillars:
1. Unsurpassed comfort for guests Our proprietary comfort features include the 14 cm Strata Cloudfill Replaceable Mattress with EMF protection and grounding, the Conforma Lux Adaptive Chest Comfort System, Thermasoft Dual-Zone Embedded Table Warmer and the Caress Self-Adjusting Facecradle.
2. Commercial-grade, built-to-order craftsmanship for owners Customised products crafted from the finest materials, built to endure years of intense commercial use, supported by one of the industry’s best worldwide warranty and service networks, with a multi-language service app and parts distribution centres on three continents.
3. Practical, convenient features for therapists Ergonomic low-height range designs, wireless hand and foot controls, integrated warming drawers, handy trolleys and comfortable rolling stools.
Where does Living Earth Crafts distribute? We operate a worldwide network of local distributors with factories in the US and Asia and distribution centres in Europe, the US, Japan and China.
Who are your clients? Based in the US, we serve spas and hospitality operations worldwide and are the preferred choice for brands such as Como Hotels, Four Seasons, Hyatt Hotels, Hilton Hotels, Miraval, Montage, Peninsula Hotel Group, Ritz Carlton, Sandals and Shangri-La.
What’s the long-term vision for the company? To solidify our status as the go-to equipment partner for the world’s most prestigious spa and wellness destinations. We’re driving toward this goal with relentless innovation, uncompromising quality and a deep dedication to sustainability.
