By Home Furnishings Business in Furniture Retailing on October 2008 Connecticut interior designer Kat Burki announced on Thursday the grand opening of her flagship showroom, Kat Burki Home. Offering a full range of services, furniture and home accessories, the new showroom, located in Southport, Conn., will allow Burki to cater to the area’s high-end demographic.

“The premiere line is a culmination of my work as an interior designer,” Burki said. “I saw a major void in the home space when it came to finding luxurious furniture and home accents that reflected the grandeur of my clients’ homes, leading me to create original furniture designs. The new showroom is an extension of my services, allowing me to reach a larger audience in the community that has supported me throughout my design career, and to make my designs available to a larger audience.”   

The two-story, 1,800-square-foot, colonial-style boutique, located at 35 Old Post Rd. in Southport, features a full range of upholstery, furniture, bedding, bath and accessories, all designed by Burki. The first floor showcases the full array of Kat Burki Home Bath and Bedding Collections while the second floor features the items from the Kat Burki Furniture Collection ranging from coffee tables covered in shagreen, sting ray skin, to chandeliers hand-made in their Paris workshop. 

Each furniture item is handmade and carefully crafted, utilizing traditional methods of construction. The upholstery line is fully customizable from a selection of more than 200 fine materials including Kat Burki’s signature fabrics and prints. Customization requests are available within four weeks, and 16 weeks if from Paris.
