| Kay Kollar has approached design through the lens of her architectural education from Cooper Union, with the primary focus of her work in residential interior design. She seeks to cultivate with every client an authentic language of design which transcends the narrow bands of style in order to create a uniquely personal portraiture remarkable to each project, expressed through the selection of color, materials, furniture and objects. As an interior designer, Kay gives voice to the intangible, intuitive, poetic and practical; enhancing the sense of place within an architecture so that those living inside might feel a belonging. Kollar’s live/work space has been featured in the LA Times Sunday Magazine and on HGTV. |
