apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

We don't get to Boston very often, so it's great that one of the city's best design stores, Koo de Kir, has as robust a web site as it does.

Koo de Kir is primarily a retail and online shop, but it also has an interior design consultancy which seems to help keep their product line fresh. Rather than propogating a signature style, they cull from the best contemporary designers and design houses, and are currently stocking (among other things) Flor carpet tiles, lighting from Pablo Pardo, rugs and textiles from Emma Gardner, and tableware from Tord Boontje.

Koo de Kir has the tabletop, the walls, and the livingroom covered: you can pick up a leather loveseat ($5,300), embellish it with Paul Thomas pillows ($65) and lay a sheepskin runner($195) at your feet.
