Montecito Showroom - Birgit Klein InteriorsMontecito Shop - Birgit Klein Interiors

Set in the heart of San Ysidro Village, the showroom and design studio is a one-stop shop for international design. Clients can browse and shop European textiles, lighting, and accessories that haven’t yet been offered in Santa Barbara.
Warm, inviting, and layered with ideas, the showroom is a place to shop worldly, one-off pieces, upholstery, and case goods plus Bee’s own collection (which is made in L.A.) right off the floor. It’s also a destination where clients can come dream up any piece of furniture they can imagine. Wood, metal, leather, shearling—anything is possible and the team shows how to pull it all together, offering full-service design in a unique shopping experience. For Bee, it’s all about offering Santa Barbara the very best of both worlds—access to modern, European style while keeping it local.
We love working with other people in the trade and offer trade pricing and other exclusive services to Designers, Decorator and Architects.
