Kolo Collection owners: Michelle and Greg Martin

Kolo Collection opened in August 2003 and is located in an Urban Midtown Atlanta setting. Michelle with her design background and Greg with his grandparents owning a furniture store, it was no surprise when the two came up with the Kolo Collection concept.

Since opening, Kolo Collection has garnered the “Best New Outdoor Furniture Store 2003” and “Best Outdoor Furniture Store 2005, Atlanta Magazine, “Best Store Front Single Store” (twice), Casual Living, and “Top 25 Garden Shops” Garden Design. Additionally, Kolo Collection has been featured in Southern Accents, Southern Living, The New York Times, Cottage Living, Domino, Atlanta Home & Lifestyle, Atlanta Magazine’s Home, and Atlanta Magazine. Kolo Collection also collaborated in Spring 2005 with TBS by providing the casual furniture for a national broadcast of “Movie and a Makeover”. In both 2005 and 2006, Kolo Collection was a finalist for the Apollo Award which recognizes the best casual furniture store in North America by the casual furniture manufacturers.

Entertaining customers and potential customers has become a trademark of Kolo Collection. In the past, we have joined forces with a local boutique for an in-store fashion show that drew local TV coverage and over 400 people. That was followed up with the website and photography launch party for TLC’s “Trading Spaces” star Hildi Santo-Thomas. Stay tuned and make sure you are registered at our website for upcoming events.

The goal of providing a unique approach to shopping for outdoor furnishings starts with our 7000 square foot showroom but doesn’t end there. Kolo Collection focuses on personal service with each customer and designer. Special touches include free at home consultation and space planning.
