Robert Kuo creates a wide variety of decorative objects, from small tabletop pieces to furniture and large landscaping elements. His work can be seen around the world, from the National History Museum in Taipei to exclusive hotels like the Singapore Ritz-Carlton, San Francisco's Hotel Palomar, the Las Vegas MGM Grand Villas, and the New York Four Seasons. Kuo is inspired by organic forms found in nature, as well as the timeless "motifs" of the Chinese Han and Ming dynasties - often combining them with Deco and Nouveau influences. Sophisticated design showrooms in the US and Europe, such as McGuire and Baker Furniture, represent Robert Kuo accessories and lighting, while Gump in San Francisco sells special pieces and holds Kuo exhibitions twice a year.

While most of his recent work has been in repousse, he has designed a new collection of cloisonne lighting for McGuire. "Robert Kuo is the late 20th/early 21st century representation of the imperial artisan." - Clarence Shangraw, chief curator emeritus of the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, Tsui Museum of Art, and The Trammell and Margaret Crow Collection of Asian Art. Avid and enthusiastic collectors await new Kuo designs. He reinterprets the past for the present and future.
