In June of 2009, Kristen Wentrcek officially launched WINTERCHECK FACTORY® in Brooklyn, New York. She recruited her closest friends, all of whom are not only highly skilled in one area or another but also able to cope with receiving countless daily emails from her.

They began with furniture, and later added accessories, clothing and housewares into the mix. The goal is, and has been from the beginning, to source, manufacture and even re-purpose items we want/need in our daily lives with the hope that customers want/need these products as well.

Our ideal product is functional, dynamic, and aesthetically pleasing. At the same time, we strive to be economically mindful in order to make original, local design as accessible as possible. While we are lucky enough to work with selected retailers, we primarily sell directly from our website, giving us the freedom to sell any product without constraints.
