KRUSING FOR HOME DECOR
d. kruse is a leader in stylish home furnishings stores in Newport Beach. Co-owners Dee and Randy Kruse specialize in bridging the gap between stark modern and homey furnishings.
The talented couple work together on interior projects, design their own line of furniture, and travel the globe to buy hard-to-find coveted furnishings.
"So many of our clients say they're just plain tired of traditional interiors," Randy Kruse says. "And at the same time they don't want to give up their family heirlooms."
D. Kruse is the place to find fresh looks to enhance stodgy interiors. The showroom is ever changing. Currently the emphasis is on mid-20th Century furnishings. Treasured objects include revived historical Lucite chairs by Alessandro Albrizzi; patent leather, metallicized, goat hair and exotic pillows by Maison de Vacances; and thick drippy hand-blown glass by Henry Dean of Belgium. D. Kruse also carries a coveted line of French dishware by Astier de Villate, ceramics by Kuhn of Berlin; furnishings by Marcel Wanders of Amsterdam; Ikat pillows from New York and the Louis Ghost chair by Phillippe Starck & Kartell.
And they carry furnishings by icons in design Dorothy Draper, Paul McCobb, Billy Haines and Paul Frankl. Also find George Smith, a high-end furniture line that's expertly crafted and worth every penny.
Open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Friday. 3412 Via Lido in Newport Beach. 949.673.1302.
