The PennDesign Alumni Association invites you to explore Kevin O'Brien Studio.
Kevin O'Brien, C'80, MFA'87, founder and designer of Kevin O'Brien Studio will lead guests on private tour of his factory, a renovated movie theater on Broad Street. Working with the Philadelphia Industrial Development Corporation, Kevin acquired the building in 2011 and took eight months to renovate it.
Kevin O'Brien Studio is a home furnishings company producing pillows, quilts, duvets and rugs found at luxury retailers like Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Barneys New York, Bergdorf Goodman, and at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. After discovering textiles while traveling in China and Japan, O'Brien started producing handmade fabrics 20 years ago in his spare time, and now has a factory in Philadelphia and workshop in Kathmandu.
