See What's New At Kathy Kuo Home In Tribeca
Kathy Kuo debuted Kathy Kuo Home, her furnishing line’s first showroom in Tribeca, last November. Open to homeowners as well as design professionals, the space is a natural extension of her brand’s stylish upholstered pieces. LUXE sat with Kuo to learn more about what’s in store for the spring.
How did you design this showroom experience? Our goal was to create a space that would feel magical and comforting. We want clients to kick off their shoes and curl up on one of our sofas while they look at fabric swatches, or enjoy a glass of bubbly during a consultation with one of our design specialists.
What’s new at the shop this season? I am a big proponent of timeless rather than trendy. This spring, I think we’re going to see an emphasis on investing in pieces that are beautifully designed and crafted, and made from artisan-quality, sustainable materials. We’re thrilled to have recently launched really special custom upholstery for sofas and living room chairs.
Spring in New York means kinder weather ahead. Any favorite outdoor design advice? Put as much thought and intention into it as you would for your indoor design. Do you picture yourself hosting alfresco cocktail parties at sunset? Or enjoying your morning coffee solo? If you’re fortunate to have outdoor space in the city, invest in high-quality materials like teak, wrought iron and all-weather rattan—you’ll be able to get many years of use out of your pieces.
