Living Earth Crafts – on a mission

Living Earth Crafts already counts leading global operators among its clientele. Chief innovation officer Jim Chenevey says the company is taking innovation to the next level in 2026


For more than 50 years, Living Earth Crafts has catered to the world’s finest spas and wellness facilities in 100 countries. The company offers a wide range of built-to-order furnishings, including relaxation loungers with electronic adjustment, infrared LED light therapy, heat, massage and bio-hacking Mind-Sync 2.0 technology for stress reduction and sleep.

The company also specialises in pedicure and nail care equipment, featuring space-saving mani-pedi combo chairs, such as the Maestro Opus.

Clients include Accor, Marriott, Auberge Resorts, Canyon Ranch, Kempinski, Mandarin Oriental and Rosewood and Living Earth Crafts is regularly recognised with awards and accolades from ISPA, American Spa magazine, the Green Spa Network and more.

What can the industry expect next?
2026 is shaping up to be our most innovative year yet, featuring groundbreaking advancements in LED light therapy, VitaLymph lymphatic support, grounding and EMF protection, stress reduction and acoustic resonance.

What specific innovations are on the way?
We’re thrilled to announce and introduce the new luxury Alhambra treatment table. The built-to-order Alhambra brings together LEC’s premium materials, patented design features and skilled craftsmanship for what we believe is the world’s finest treatment table.  Versatile multi-purpose work surfaces, electronic drop arms and multiple patented comfort features. Among others are the EMF protection and an innovative grounding feature to enhance comfort and healing. Also launching will be our new patented Conforma Lux Adaptive Chest Comfort system, which is exclusive to Living Earth Crafts and conforms to the unique shape of everyone, aiding in spinal alignment while also reducing pressure points and chest discomfort during face-down treatments for both men and women.

Where does Living Earth Crafts distribute?
We operate a worldwide network of distributors with factories in the US and Asia and distribution centres in Europe, the US, Japan and China.

Who are your clients?
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 differentiates Living Earth Crafts?
Innovation is at our core, driving our position as a leading global equipment supplier to the industry.

We focus on three key pillars:

1. Unsurpassed comfort for guests

Our proprietary comfort features include the 14 cm Strata Cloudfill Replaceable Mattress with grounding and EMF protection, Electronic Drop Arm System, the Conforma Lux Adaptive Chest Comfort System, Thermasoft Dual-Zone Embedded Table Warmer and the Caress Self-Adjusting Face cradle.

2. Commercial-grade craftsmanship

Custom products are 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 stools.

What’s the long-term vision?
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.
