Pulled together by designers David Khouri and Roberto Guzman of Comma, and Christiaan Bunce - formerly of Christiaan Bunce Design – the first Khouri Guzman Bunce Ltd furniture and design showroom opened last week on NYC's West 25th St.
Slotted in neatly among the galleries and exhibition spaces of West Chelsea, the 3,500 sq ft KGB Ltd showroom plays host to a new line of steadfastly modern, handmade furniture.
Despite the collection's contemporary aesthetic, pieces combine traditional materials - ranging from fumed white oak to silicon bronze - with time-honoured craft techniques, including leather moulding and precious metal plating.
Alongside the furniture range – featuring a Pyrex and bronze cocktail table, fumed oak sideboard and a hand-hewn marble bench - Khouri Guzman Bunce also offer a full range of architectural and interior design services, along with a line in silk and cashmere Tibetan rugs.
