As the founders of Nickey Kehoe, Amy Kehoe and Todd Nickey have cultivated a distinct style that emphasizes the handmade, curating personality filled home goods destined to be future heirlooms. From their Los Angeles flagship, the duo have built a collection of artisan-made furniture, lighting, tableware, and more that they layer with exceptional vintage finds.

Today, they also oversee an assortment of Nickey Kehoe furniture, lighting, and wallpaper as well as collaborations with House of Hackney and Dumais Made. Recently, the brand migrated east, establishing a location in Greenwich Village, New York.
