Our story begins with a young man named Kostas Konstantinidis, who arrived in Boston, Massachusetts in the early 1980s with nothing but a staple puller and a dream. Born and raised in Athens, Kostas had honed his craft from a young age, apprenticing at a local upholstery shop in his neighborhood. Under the guidance of his mentor, Nikos Mailis, Kostas learned the intricacies of upholstery, from sweeping floors to mastering the fine art of craftsmanship that would become his life's passion.
When Kostas first set foot on American soil, he found work as a fry cook at a local Burger King. Yet, as he stared at the uniform hanging in his closet, he knew that this was not the future he had envisioned. On the day he was supposed to start, he made a pivotal decision—he skipped his first shift and instead sought out the familiar comfort of an upholstery bench. Fate, and a friend named Savvas, led him to a local upholsterer who gave him his first opportunity to work as a craftsman in his new home.
It was a humble beginning, but Kostas was relentless. He knocked on doors, offering his services to anyone who would give him a chance, spending every spare moment honing his skills. In 1982, his perseverance paid off when he opened his own upholstery shop in a basement on Langley Road in Newton, Massachusetts. This small shop was the birthplace of Lousso Designs. As the years passed, Kostas' reputation for impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail spread. His basement workshop soon expanded, adding an office and eventually moving to a larger space in Canton, Massachusetts. Kostas' passion for creating one-of-a-kind pieces attracted skilled tradespeople to join his team, and together they refined their craft, serving both residential and commercial clients.
Lousso Designs became a magnet for highly talented interior designers, who collaborated with Kostas and his team to create distinctive furniture that was as much art as it was functional design. Their combined creativity and expertise set a new standard for immaculate interior design, making Lousso Designs a respected name in the industry. It was in this environment that Kostas' son, Yanni, grew up, deeply immersed in the world of upholstery and design. Observing the intricate work his father did for designers and clients alike, Yanni recognized a need for a better way to bridge the communication gap between clients and craftsmen. He envisioned a platform that would make the process of creating custom furniture seamless and enjoyable—thus, Centro Decor was born.
Centro Decor was born from a passion for craftsmanship and a drive to transform how custom pillows and cushions are designed. Today we’ve evolved into a platform that blends traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation.
