The company expanded in the San Fernando Valley in 1982, and opened its first international franchise in Vancouver, BC, in 1985. In 1986, the company introduced its core “Classic” line of storage solutions including a European railing system, miter-cut drawers, and melamine. California Closets was purchased by Williams-Sonoma in 1990 and in 1993 became the first customized storage solution company to expand product offerings beyond the bedroom closet to include garage, home office, and kitchen pantry. In 1994, Williams-Sonoma sold California Closets, and the company was independent until acquired by The Franchise Company in 1998. In 1999, California Closets introduced the “Paradiso” line, a modern, European-styled line of storage, and in 2000 rolled out the “Suite” line of custom storage, floor-based, more furniture-like options.〔 Additional lines include the “Virtuoso” collection, which features long, clean lines and open structure inspired by modern European furniture design,〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=California Closets website )〕 and the “Tesoro” Italian finishes, which was inspired by materials discovered at the 2011 Milan Furniture Fair and is imported exclusively for California Closets.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=California Closets website )〕 The Virtuoso collection was introduced in 2008 and the Tesoro collection followed in 2012. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「California Closets」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
