Founder & Creative Director
Fendric Thorvale has opinions about unique finds. Informed ones, backed by real experience — but opinions nonetheless, and they doesn't try to disguise them as neutral observation. They thinks a lot of what gets written about Unique Finds, Lifestyle Decor Inspirations, KD-Inspired Architectural Layouts is either too cautious to be useful or too confident to be credible, and they's work tends to sit deliberately in the space between those two failure modes.
Reading Fendric's pieces, you get the sense of someone who has thought about this stuff seriously and arrived at actual conclusions — not just collected a range of perspectives and declined to pick one. That can be uncomfortable when they lands on something you disagree with. It's also why the writing is worth engaging with. Fendric isn't interested in telling people what they want to hear. They is interested in telling them what they actually thinks, with enough reasoning behind it that you can push back if you want to. That kind of intellectual honesty is rarer than it should be.
What Fendric is best at is the moment when a familiar topic reveals something unexpected — when the conventional wisdom turns out to be slightly off, or when a small shift in framing changes everything. They finds those moments consistently, which is why they's work tends to generate real discussion rather than just passive agreement.

You’ve probably heard about KD Archistyle but you’re wondering what it actually looks like. Not the theory. The real thing. Here’s the challenge: a style that works in a single-family home doesn’t always translate

I’ve seen too many modern homes with landscapes that completely miss the point. You spent time getting your architecture right. Clean lines, intentional materials, spaces that breathe. Then you step outside and it all falls apart. The problem isn’t your plants or your hardscape. It’s that most people treat the landscape like an afterthought instead

I’ve spent years studying how Korean gardens create that feeling of calm you can’t quite explain. You’re probably tired of looking at your yard and feeling like something’s missing. It looks fine but it doesn’t feel like a place you actually want to be. Here’s the thing: Korean garden design isn’t about adding more stuff.
