Kathy Kuo Home

We are excited to announce the opening of a new Design Showroom at?161 Hudson Street?in Manhattan’s popular Tribeca neighborhood! Designed by yours truly, this 2,000-square-ft Design Showroom will offer in-person Homeowner, Trade, and Interior Design services by appointment or walk-in. Clients and customers will also be able to peruse our exclusive Custom Upholstery furniture silhouettes and swatches (come sit on the “most comfortable sofa ever”), explore expertly curated design vignettes, and enjoy in-person events for the ever-growing KKH community. From the day I started Kathy Kuo Home in 2012, New York City has been the heart and home of the business. I am so thrilled for KKH to be starting a new chapter downtown in Tribeca, a neighborhood that epitomizes style, quality, and innovation, as well as community and creativity. I look forward to continuing to grow our amazing KKH community through in-person Trade and Design services, furniture showcases, and inspired special events. Come say hello and see for yourself if you're in the neighborhood:?https://lnkd.in/eHJqvSHD

Last week I had the great pleasure of being part of the Hearst Collective | Perspective: Home?+ Design event, organized by my friends?at?Hearst Magazines! This event was such a special meeting of the minds from so many wonderful facets of the worlds of home, design, fashion, technology, and editorial. I was honored to speak on a panel called Commerce, Connectivity & The Rise of Conscious Consumerism—moderated by Jessica Teves?of House Beautiful— alongside Chief Brand & Design Officer for?California Closets?Edward Leaman. Our lively conversation on the direction that commerce trends and consumer attitudes in the home space is going truly energized and inspired me, and I've been seeing so much in a new perspective ever since. It was also such a pleasure to be in the company of the other amazing panelists and moderators from Hearst! There is so much to feel optimistic?and excited about at the intersections of design, tech, fashion, interiors, commerce, and culture at this moment in time, and it was such a joy to share this?special morning with so many professionals in design whom?I?admire and look to as industry leaders, including?Athena Calderone?&?Nina Garcia?(among many others)!
