About Carolyn Kinder Designs
Carolyn eventually sold her interest in Kinder-Harris and in 1992, she began the development of Carolyn Kinder, Inc., a multi-faceted company which serves the home interior industry on a broader scale through a series of licensee companies, each a leader in its field. This new business continues to address the area of product development, but is also developing new marketing techniques for consumers by focusing on the many obstacles they face in providing a beautiful, functional, and comfortable home for their families.
In 2002, Carolyn founded Carolyn Kinder International. With the formation of this company, Carolyn searched and acquired additional talented staff with a diversified skill set to implement her plan. This multi-dimensional company continues to focus on delivering award winning designs and creating interesting licensing partnerships, all complemented with the power of media.
Carolyn Kinder and Uttermost have enjoyed a significant business partnership for over 10 years. The relationship began in wall décor, and has expanded in recent years into portable and fixed lighting. Carolyn's unique style, passion, and vision for the future make her very special to Uttermost, and to the entire home décor industry.

After two generations of furniture manufacturing, Bob and Belle Cooper founded The Uttermost Company in 1975, and it is still 100% owned by the Cooper family. Bob and Belle continue to be involved in the business, but are not active in day-to-day activities. Mac Cooper, President/CEO, Taz Cooper, Exec VP/Sales Manager, and a strong management team operate the business today.
Uttermost has enjoyed steady growth for the past 31 years, and now has approximately 290 employees working in its Rocky Mount, Virginia factories totaling 600,000 square feet. Uttermost also has a factory in China which covers an entire city block. In May ’06, Uttermost will be fully operational out of its state-of-the-art West Coast distribution center. This West Coast facility has been added to increase distribution capacity, provide faster shipping to West Coast Retailers, and reduce freight costs to these Retailers.
Uttermost is proud to support many of the most prestigious home-furnishing Retailers in the world with our products and service. The growth of Uttermost is primarily due to their commitment to three things: superior service to Retailers, maximizing the value of the products we make through better design and sharp pricing, and treating our employees, sales representatives, and designers as partners in business. This commitment stems from their stated mission and culture. Uttermosts mission is simple, to make great home accessories at a reasonable price. This has been their guiding light from the day they started over 31 years ago.
Uttermost manufactures mirrors, art, metal wall art, lamps, accessories, clocks and lighting fixtures.
