MK Workshop is a design studio launched in 2013 in collaboration with Petra McKenzie and Jonah Kilday. Together, we want to truly "Meet" our clients to create a space for each individual that reflects their personality and lifestyle, as much as it offers comfort and room to retreat and recharge. We strongly believe that a combination of beauty, quality, and functionality can be achieved regardless of budget. We draw inspiration from the details we find in nature, art, urban textures, and client collaboration. With offices in Brooklyn, New York, and Austin, Texas, we work with nationwide clientele on residential and commercial projects.

MK Objects was created from our love for beautiful textiles and objects, leading us to work with local and international craftsmen to bring carefully and intelligently made things and curated objects to our clients and the trade. Our Austin, Texas, showroom is open to the trade by appointment.
