Karlie Kloss Designs A New York Office Space
When supermodel Karlie Kloss isn’t gracing magazine covers or strutting down runways from New York to Milan, she has a roster of entrepreneurial ventures to tend to. But despite being a 25-year-old business savant, Kloss has been working without an office space - up until now.
“I’m excited to have a beautiful, collaborative new home for the Klossy team to continue to grow and build on Kode With Klossy’s work to inspire young women to pursue computer science,” said Kloss in a statement. The former Victoria’s Secret Angel's new office serves as a home base for her multi-faceted brand, but is primarily for her non-profit initiative for girls who code.
Located in New York’s SoHo neighborhood, the office draws from its surroundings, mastering industrial vibes without feeling cold. Homepolish’s Tina Rich designed the space using a gorgeous blend of neutrals and pastels, raw wood details, and plenty of chic (and very Karlie) accessories, all provided by Lulu & Georgia.
The spacious open floor plan includes three meeting spaces, a phone booth that doubles as a changing room, and a kitchen - key in the development of Klossies, the gluten-free, dairy-free and nut-free treats that were once sold at Milk Bar.
"I wanted the conference room to feel like a dining room - especially since Karlie wanted to be able to host dinner parties - and the meeting room to feel like a living space," Rich told Architectural Digest.
While Kloss was inspired by Glossier's office and the furniture design in the Soho House in Berlin, according to AD, she also got inspiration from the same place you do - Pinterest.
"Pinterest was a great resource for me. I loved researching different modern and open offices," she said. "Many of the offices I love have these amazing and intricate light fixtures, so I knew I wanted that to be a focal point of my own space."
The artwork is from Uprise Art, Calico wallpaper covers the photo booth, and Semihandmade is responsible for the kitchen cabinets.
While it’s unclear if Klossy will expand into interior design after this successful venture, "having this office space is a big next step for us as we continue to scale towards an exciting future,” Kloss said. Much like the space, her future looks bright to us.
