Very few in design are not familiar with Kyle Bunting the brand which makes some of the most extraordinary cowhide rugs; but the company’s namesake founder is quite illusive.  So I was considerably surprised by Kyle Bunting’s candor when we set down with at the Four Seasons for tea.

We shared the Artisan cheese plate and walnut bread, scones with lemon curd (with advance notice) and a selection of petit fours, accompanied by  “T” Floral Jasmin green tea in a French press.  And there I learned about how passion, confidence and persistence can lead to tremendous success, both professionally and personally, especially when doused with love.  No doubt, Kyle Bunting is a man of passion, and he credits the love and support of his wife Libby for much of his accomplishments.  He confidently talked about how he was humbled by their first meeting and how he got his now thriving business started in a shotgun shack warehouse in San Francisco’s Hunter’s Point.  Success is one of those curious and complex things, and I am always in awe of people who can take a great idea and persevere to actually turn it into a fortune.
