Kit Republic is a boutique interior design firm based in New York City. With a focus on commercial and residential projects both large and small, our work has been featured in Architectural Records, Elle Décor Italia, and Elle Decoration Thailand.

For commercial projects, we consult from building concept, branding, and interior design through project realization. We have a special affinity for hospitality and have been involve in creating many well-known restaurants in New York over the past 16 years. In addition to interior design services, our hospitality business often extends to uniform design, environmental design and social media. We recently gave a facelift to a ten-years-old dental clinic, updating it to a more modern classic look without interfering with the operation of their daily their business.

For residential projects we consult in real estate selection, home remodeling, interior design and even custom designing a bookshelf. We work with each homeowner to closely understand their needs and preferences. Our process helps them uncover the style they want to live in. And we work with them to realize that ideal. Each project allows us to create unique spaces that harmonize the architecture with the lifestyle of the owners.

We bring a refined design sensibility to our projects. With our strength in project management and coordination, attention to budget and scheduling considerations, we realize our projects down to the smallest detail.

**★★★★★ — Ted Metcalfe, Nov. 2013**

> Kit began working with us when our newly developed condo was a raw shell. Several months later — on a tight timeline and budget — he left us with a home we loved at the time, and love even more today.
>
> Two qualities stand out. First, Kit brings architectural vision. He used our practical requirements as an opportunity to unite spaces and create texture. For instance, he extended the wood flooring under a glass railing and down the wall to our submerged living room where it forms a long, floating media cabinet.
>
> Second, Kit is a patient but uncompromising style guru. I had specific ideas about designers and pieces. Kit never said "no" but kept introducing me to new ideas and things. The results are nothing I would have ever imagined, but actually much truer to my wife and my ideals. Hence, perhaps, the growing love affair with a home that encourages mindfulness and celebrates nature in downtown NYC

**★★★★★ — Sarah Ko, April 2013**

> I did a complete renovation of my 1200 sq foot Union Square apartment in 2011 and hired Kit at Studio recreation for the job including interior design.
>
> Kit deserves a glowing recommendation because he is an absolute pleasure to work with and goes above and beyond to provide support even after the contract has ended.  He happily worked with my conservative budget and brought on a good contractor. I was on time, on budget and I've got a home that I love.
>
> Kit is what I call a triple threat. He is equal parts artist, partner and a mind reader! He will hear you out, introduce fresh ideas and then elevate that vision to higher ground. He's got the unique ability to mix high and low end, a pulse on all the trends but yet maintains a timeless and effortless chic to his designs.

**★★★★★ — Sunny Kwok, April 2013**

> My business partner and I hired Studio Recreation to design a customize work station for a home office. Kit (the interior designer) who is not just keeping the project to our limited budget, he created a very innovative solution to accommodate our many design challenges.
>
> He is well networked, resourceful, and make sure the highest quality in the final product. Beside all that, his warm personality give us a stress-free experience from beginning to the end. I look forward to hire Studio Recreation again for my next renovation project.

**Q: where can I purchase the black leather setteeand how much does it cost** *(in Photo Questions)*

Where can I purchase the black leather settee and how much does it cost?

A: This one is custom upholstered from an old settee. You can google for black leather settee, and might find something.

**Q: Love the flooring. Can you tell me more about it?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: If you refer to the wooden floor, it's regular oak floor with natural finish. If you refer to the rug, it's a custom made from India.

**Q: Quels sont le noms des plantes présentes sur la photo ?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: There were 3 kinds: Monstera Philodendron, Xanadu Philodendron, Umbrella Papyrus(need a lot of sun and should be submerged in water).

**Q: Rug** *(in Photo Questions)*

Where can I get the rug?
