Nearly a century ago, the future Mr. and Mrs. Kurtinitis met as pen pals.

Over 80 years later, Kurtinitis continues to serve Cincinnati with our premier luxury full-service interior design studio and shop.

Our Story

William Kurtinitis worked as an upholsterer in Sheboygan, WI. Helen was a young woman in Cincinnati, OH. William came to Cincinnati so they could meet in person; three short days later, they were married.

William found a steady job at Cincinnati Milacron but kept up with his upholstery business on the weekends. Little by little, the young couple saved money in their sugar bowl until they could buy a building and open their own upholstery business.

In 1942, they opened Kurtinitis Upholstery, and that building houses Interiors by Kurtinitis to this day. Over the years, William and Helen expanded their enterprise, both in square feet and offerings—adding design services and retail space to their shop.

Their daughter, Marianne, ran the shop when her parents were ready to retire. Currently, Interiors by Kurtinitis is owned and operated by JW Fleckenstein, who has been affiliated with Kurtinitis for over 25 years.
