Kat Florence is best known for her work in jewelry, where production is intentionally limited and materials are selected with precision. Her business operates on small runs, high-end materials and close oversight of design and execution. Those same priorities carry into the Kat Florence Hotel, which was developed on a deliberately small scale.
