Nickey Kehoe

What Nickey Kehoe does

Nickey Kehoe is a privately held luxury home furnishings retailer and interior design studio founded in 2004 and headquartered in Los Angeles. The company operates two physical showrooms, a flagship at 7266 Beverly Blvd in Los Angeles and a second at 49 E. 10th Street in New York City, complemented by a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront built on Shopify. Its core offering, the NK Collection, consists of custom-made furniture and lighting handcrafted in Los Angeles with extensive fabric, finish, and configuration options, alongside curated assortments of vintage furnishings, fine art, ceramics, candles, hardware, and household accessories sourced globally. A sub-brand, Bernard, extends the assortment into candles and fragrance, including a collaboration with DÔEN.

The company serves two principal customer segments: affluent design-conscious consumers purchasing for personal use, and trade professionals (interior designers, architects, decorators) who source furnishings for client projects. Revenue is generated almost entirely through one-time product sales, with prices ranging from roughly $5 for small accessories to $22,000 for a Tuxedo Sectional, and gift cards issued up to $7,000. Two service offerings supplement product sales: the Trade Program, which provides exclusive pricing, a dedicated Trade Representative, and a COM/COL customization workflow for design professionals; and the Design Studio, which offers interior design consultation and project execution. Premium textile partnerships with Holland & Sherry, Howe at 36 Bourne Street, Susan Deliss, and Farrow & Ball, along with exclusive collaborations with Dumais Made, Astier De Villatte, Furniture Marolles, and Heidi Callier, anchor the differentiated and customizable product positioning.

The business is bootstrapped with no disclosed institutional investors or funding history, and is operated with a small team of 11–50 employees. Marketing relies primarily on earned media coverage in major design publications (Vogue, VERANDA, Modern Luxury Interiors) rather than paid acquisition, and the showrooms function as immersive brand experiences. The company is actively operating across both physical retail and e-commerce channels in the United States.
