Overview

KOO's mission is to transform the manner in which professional designers and high net-worth individuals (HNWI) source luxury furnishings and works of art for their design projects and homes. Our vision is to disrupt and innovate the traditional design industry by becoming a virtual global design center in which design professionals and sophisticated HNWIs can access unique global collections without the limitations of physical design centers.
