Curio Kobo was founded by two women-owned small businesses in Chattanooga, I Go Tokyo + Verre Noir, and brought together by a shared love of independent artists, makers, and Chattanooga’s creative community.
Our mission at Curio Kobo is to create an inclusive, ever-changing space that celebrates independent artists and makers, with a special focus on regional artists. Through a rotating mix of products, styles, and ideas, we aim to give smaller creators a place to share their work, reach new audiences, and be discovered.
Our goal is to connect visitors and locals alike with the artists, makers, and creative spirit that make Chattanooga unique.
