A collaborative, imaginative, multi-disciplined practice with heart.
Our work champions brands at all sizes and stages, boasts deep hospitality roots, and spans across multiple sectors. Our reach extends to everything from concept development to creative direction, hospitality design to business development, PR to purposeful growth strategy, digital presence to strategic partnerships, naming to product launches, branding & identity to experiential activations, pop-ups, and so much more. The name is an idiom meaning ‘to handle with care,’ which is our guiding ethos.
We view and shape everything we do through the lens of the people experiencing it
Full-scale hospitality design for restaurants and bars of all kind.
We’re all about connective storytelling through transporting design that is in, and of, its place, feels as nice as it looks, and creates positive memories among teams and guests. Our coverage includes new concept development, full-gut renovations and redesigns, naming, branding, logo, identity, menu engineering & design, opening plans, selection and sourcing of all artwork, metalwork, lighting, accents, furniture, fixtures, florals, finishings, millwork and fabrication partners, lifestyle & architectural photographers, etc.
Overarching brand strategy, concept development, and growth positioning for multi-unit hospitality outfits
We excel in both the thinking, and the doing.
The brainchild of Theresa Mullen, Kid Gloves brings to life our vision for a fluid, atypical creative consultancy dedicated to the brand in all its forms. The work is steeped in an in-house mindset. Our extensive hospitality experience spans some of the most celebrated restaurant concepts in the world, including Shake Shack (NYSE: SHAK), Eleven Madison Park, and the whole of Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group portfolio, with Gramercy Tavern, The Modern, and Union Square Cafe among them.
