Kurt Bielawski's New Project Promises Heirloom-Worthy Pieces

Lauded for two decades worth of beautifully built residences, Kurt Bielawski recently debuted KD Biel, a Dallas trove of stylish high-end home goods. The new project is a return to form for Bielawski: Before founding his construction company, More Design + Build, he was an apparel buyer. His stately room at the Round Top Designer Show House served as a sneak peek of what’s to come with the new concept, which features a selection of timeless furniture and heirloom-worthy accents. Read on as Bielawski shares more.

What inspired you to launch the brand?

I have wanted to do this for years. I also think there is a lack of well-designed merchandise that can stand the test of time and still be beautiful and useful. KD Biel hopes to fill this void: design-focused, artisanal, high-quality.

What can guests expect to find?

KD Biel will be merchandised as rooms in a home, including garden, living, library, bed, bath, kitchen, pantry and fine dining. Most of what we carry is exclusive to Dallas, and the rest is limited distribution. The 70-some brands include celebrated names, such as The Urban Electric Co. and J. & L. Lobmeyr.

What are a few of your favorite offerings?

My custom furniture pieces for the KD Biel Collection, because they took a lot of time to perfect; East Otis, a niche furniture line made by the nicest people; and Perfumer H, whose fragrances, candles and tea I fell in love with when I walked into their London store.
