Lenny Kravitz, known for his retro taste in everything from his style to his sound, will begin showcasing that style through his design firm, Kravitz Design, which he and two partners started about two years ago.

“We were quiet at first, just doing some private homes, and then moved into doing a penthouse recording studio,” said Kravitz. “(Now) we're doing hotels. We've got three or four things on the table now.”

Kravitz said his love of architecture and interior design was evident at an early age. But it was his opulent decor of his own homes, including one in New Orleans, that started getting notice in magazines such as Vogue. Then he began getting asked to do other people’s homes.

Kravitz said his style is rooted in classic styles with a blend of furniture, such as an art nouveau chair next to a chair from the '60s. He also expects to launch a line of Kravitz decor in the future.
