Five Generations, One Craft

K3 Designs is the creative atelier of Kuhn Holdings — carrying forward five generations and over 135 years of design and construction heritage. What began as a single carpenter's workshop has grown into a family legacy of builders, craftsmen, and designers, each generation adding its own chapter.

Every table, chair, and built-in we make begins with raw material — solid wood, honest joinery, and a respect for the grain. We're not interested in mass production. We're interested in the kind of furniture that becomes part of a family's story, the way ours has for well over a century.

As part of the Kuhn family of ventures, K3 Designs carries forward the same values that have guided five generations before us: patience, craftsmanship, and a belief that the things we make should outlast the hands that made them.

Today Fifth Generation leads K3 Designs

Patience

Good furniture isn't rushed. Every K3 piece takes the time it needs — from drying the wood to the final hand-finish.

Material

We choose wood the way a chef chooses ingredients — by feel, by grain, and by what the piece is asking to become.

Legacy

We build furniture meant to be inherited — pieces that carry a family's history in every scratch and worn edge.
