Kara Mann Design
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS
Timeless proportions, authentic materials and a no-fuss approach collide in the carefully but effortlessly crafted world of Kara Mann. “Lived-in elegance” is how she defines it—her portfolio of furniture, lighting and accessories perfectly embody a balance few have mastered.
“Home is meant to be lived in. And it’s every designer’s dream to create pieces that live in someone’s home.”
A Recognizable Ease
When the designer approaches interiors, there’s nothing more fulfilling than creating spaces where her clients can put their feet up and relax. “There should be a certain casualness to life. And that’s always my finishing touch on a room or a piece.” Mann’s design philosophy? Good design should never age. From lighting to seating and rugs, it’s all about how it feels in your hand, how you’re going to interact with it, how you’ll live with it for decades to come.
“I like a little bit of drama. And a little bit of grit. I don't want everything perfect—nothing's perfect.”
