Our Team

Karsten Iwers
PRESIDENT
karsten@shopharvest.com

Karsten Iwers is the president of Harvest Furniture. While this is a lofty title, most days you will find Karsten in the store with his sleeves rolled up, ready to assist customers and address the daily tasks of retail.

Karsten’s passion for the casual yet refined and stylish California lifestyle drive his enthusiasm for offering products that create a relaxed, warm, and inviting style of furniture and home décor, that is ideally suited for everyday living spaces.

Karsten has over seventeen years of experience in just about every facet of home décor in general and retail management in particular.

Karsten left his native Germany in 1989 to attend college in San Francisco on a one-year scholarship. Three degrees and twenty years later, it is probably safe to say that he has turned native. Karsten enjoys the California suburban lifestyle in the SF Peninsula with his wife Carolyn, his daughter Christa, and his son John.
