KOKET and Janet Morais: Where Seduction Meets Luxury Design

Noted for her dramatic and edgy design aesthetic, enticing personality and strong love affair with life, Janet Morais is the founder, CEO and driving force behind the world-renowned and seductive home décor brand KOKET. But her entrepreneurial ventures extend far beyond furniture design – she’s also the founder of luxury lifestyle magazine Love Happens and the brand agency DeMorais International.

Janet’s deep familiarity with the European culture and her multilingual command of four languages have uniquely positioned her at the center of the rapidly evolving international luxury brand market. Her career spans over two decades, during which she has gracefully established her mark on interior design, women empowerment, and luxury living.

The Birth of KOKET

Founded in 2010 from the creative mind of Janet Morais, Koket proposes outstanding objects to spice up your home. The brand emerged from Morais’s desire to create something deeply personal yet universally appealing. “Koket offers a glimpse into my world and everything that moves me,” she says. “It [embodies] all of what I believe in.”

The decision to launch KOKET wasn’t taken lightly. Starting a company and building it up from scratch is no easy task. And if you decide to start a luxury furniture company, an already difficult venture becomes a serious challenge. However, Morais approached this challenge head-on, driven by her vision to create furniture that would do more than simply fill spaces.

So Morais decided to launch Koket: a furniture brand founded upon her fierce and ultra-feminine personality, along with her affinity for luxury and beauty. This personal touch has become the brand’s signature, infusing each piece with a sense of empowerment and seduction that sets KOKET apart from traditional luxury furniture brands.

The KOKET Philosophy

KOKET is more than a luxury furniture brand, but a representation of empowerment and desire. My mission with KOKET has always been to empower and seduce with daring design, all while giving women the ability to express their true style. This philosophy permeates every aspect of the brand, from design conception to final execution.

KOKET is dedicated to bringing seduction and desire to the world of interior design. Inspired in nature, fashion, and the enticement of love, this collection of lavish furniture elevates passion to new levels. The brand’s aesthetic draws from multiple influences, with Morais citing Art Deco and oriental design as particular inspirations, often looking through vintage design archives and adding what she calls “the opulent KOKET touch.”

Craftsmanship and Design Excellence

Quality and craftsmanship are at the heart of KOKET’s appeal. The line is designed and manufactured in Portugal by a highly skilled group of artisans, jewelers, and designers. This commitment to traditional craftsmanship, combined with contemporary design sensibilities, creates pieces that are both timeless and thoroughly modern.

KOKET’s designs are empowering statement pieces that are handcrafted by master artisans in Portugal. The attention to detail is extraordinary, with master artisans and jewelers who leave no detail or element forgotten.

The brand’s collections, including the Guilty Pleasures and Exotic Opulence lines, feature dramatic casegoods, luscious upholstery, exquisite lighting, and decadent furs; all of which mesmerize with their magical mineral medleys, luxe metallics, vibrant jewel tones, and exotic feathers.

Evolution and Growth

KOKET hasn’t remained static since its founding. After about 5 years of success, I felt KOKET needed something to keep the brand allure and momentum growing. It became time to raise the bar within not only the collection, but the company, encompassing all aspects of the brand. This willingness to evolve and push boundaries has kept the brand fresh and relevant in an ever-changing luxury market.

Today, her brand KOKET is adored around the world and Janet has grown to be an empowering leader and dynamic female force in the interior design industry. The brand’s success has established Morais as a significant figure in luxury design, with her influence extending beyond furniture into lifestyle and empowerment.

A Multi-Faceted Empire

Janet Morais’s vision extends beyond KOKET itself. Without further ado, Janet Morais, founder and CEO of Love Happens, KOKET, and DeMorais International, and the soon to launch My Object of Desire! This entrepreneurial expansion demonstrates her commitment to creating a comprehensive luxury lifestyle ecosystem.

Through DeMorais International, The firm provides a wide range of products and services, from professional design advice to locate the item of your dreams. Continually surpassing every demand and expectation, from furniture and lighting to fur throws and leather wall tiles.

Impact and Legacy

KOKET brings empowering style and a sense of entitlement, exclusivity and prestige. More than just creating beautiful furniture, Janet Morais has built a brand that speaks to personal empowerment and self-expression, particularly for women seeking to create spaces that reflect their inner strength and desires.

The brand’s success story is one of vision meeting execution, where personal passion transforms into a globally recognized luxury brand. Through KOKET, Janet Morais has proven that furniture can be more than functional – it can be a statement of identity, a source of empowerment, and a celebration of the beautiful complexities of desire and design.

As KOKET continues to evolve and expand its reach, Janet Morais remains at the helm, driving innovation while staying true to the core values that made the brand a success: seduction, empowerment, and an unwavering commitment to luxury that speaks to the soul as much as it pleases the eye.
