About Us

After gaining 15 years of interior design experience as a senior designer with residential & commercial firms in Los Angeles and Denver, Stephen Kohlbeck started Tilde Design Studio in 2004.  His top priority is to provide his clients with impeccable service and design.

"Steve is a talented and conscientious designer. Over the past twelve years, he has worked with us to make our home into a mirror of our eclectic interests and travels. After our first few sessions, Steve was able to intuit our taste in materials, furniture, fabrics and colors and always presented us with wonderful options. I like working with him because the design effort was a collaboration of both our ideas and the results have been wonderful. Many people tell us how beautiful and unique our home is, and we can thank Steve for his guidance and bountiful creativity in helping us make it that way."
— Julie and Joe Anderies
"Stephen spent a lot of time up front getting to know our style and tastes so that he could effectively and efficiently guide us through the process.  If he couldn't find exactly what we were looking for, he was able to design it and have it custom built to meet our specifications.  Stephen was never imposing about his opinions.  We have a truly unique space now and are enjoying it thoroughly.  We most definitely plan to use him on future projects."

GIVING BACK

Stephen believes in giving back to the community.  He has designed the backdrop for three art focused fund raisers: a photography exhibition / silent auction, raising funds for the Venice Family Clinic, an art expo and auction, raising funds for the Art Students League of Denver, and The Art of Tea Gala Dinner and Auction at the Denver Art Museum.  He was also a selected Design Council member for the first Colorado Children’s Hospital Foundation Design Show House, and donated countless hours to the project.

From inception, Tilde Furniture instituted a program titled Tilde’ Tidings for Tots.  For every piece of designer furniture sold, we make a small piece of furniture and donate it to children in need.  For more information, please visit TildeFurniture.com.
