Designer’s spotlight: Laura Kirar, American interior designer and entrepreneur

Young Laura Kirar, Fine Arts graduate from the Art Institute of Chicago (1992) decided to actively follow one of her professors, upon the completion of her degree in his business of interior architecture. When I stumbled upon this elegant contemporary designer, I was beyond excited and I became inspired. She has had an intuitive business sense since she began working with high end firms and furniture manufactures, always yielding to excellent quality of both textiles and materials.

Ms. Kirar works out of a New York City office, as her own textiles and finishing brand president. Also owning, creating and overseeing her Miami based licensing company, she is an amazing role model as disciplined, discerning designer. This made me think of how Nathan Shedroff expressed the need of services being the most essential things that we can create as designers (vs products).She is also well published through out design world literature and has won several prestigious interior design accolades and awards, notably for her sensitivity to spaces that are close to the human heart.

"My interiors are more curated than designed." Laura Kirar
