Kim Seybert has built a career from dressing tables with the same elegance found on runways. A resident of the Hamptons, she specializes in lifestyle and entertaining. Her luxury table décor is available at high-end retailers such as Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, and Bloomingdale’s, as well as specialty shops worldwide and her own website. Architectural Digest once noted that her products are not just beautiful; they are whimsical and impressively made. Seybert has become almost synonymous with a well-dressed table.

While on business trips to China in the 1990s, she became fascinated by the textiles and craftsmanship she encountered in open-air markets. An affordable pocket square, completely hand-embroidered, inspired her. She realized the same quality of craftsmanship could be applied to table décor.
At that time, most dining accessories were simple and plain. While redecorating her apartment, Seybert began making her own items — placemats, napkins, and runners filled with color and detail. Friends and colleagues took notice and asked for items of their own. When she brought samples to Henri Bendel’s open viewing for new designers, she quickly caught the attention of the head buyer. Soon after, Neiman Marcus placed a company-wide order. In 1998, the Kim Seybert brand officially launched, creating a completely new category of modern table décor.
Since then, Seybert’s seasonal collections have regularly appeared in design and lifestyle media. They have found a place on the tables of celebrities, creatives, business leaders, fine restaurants, and dedicated hosts. Her work showcases global craft traditions; beading, hand-dyeing, embroidery, hand-painting, and mouth-blown glass are central to her collections.
What started with placemats and napkins has grown to include dinnerware, barware, flatware, coasters, cocktail napkins, and collaborations like the Baccarat x Kim Seybert line.

Layered textures, intricate patterns, and vibrant color palettes aim to bring warmth and character to both formal and casual gatherings. Whether for a dinner party in the Hamptons or an apartment in the city, Seybert’s approach combines craftsmanship with a sense of occasion.
As the season changes, her designs reflect the spirit of autumn: festive, lively, and crafted to make every table feel like the heart of the home.
