Luxury is expressed with exquisite subtlety in the work of William Sofield. The Manhattan designer’s rooms and architectural schemes gather strength not from outré decorative effects but from a quiet confidence that makes his unexpected juxtapositions of periods, styles, and materials seem almost effortless. Whether it’s an Aspen ski house that layers extraordinary furnishings and objects in a muscular wood-and-stone structure or a sleek Tom Ford boutique enrobed in lacquer and marble, Sofield's interiors speak of glamour and discernment-traits that come to life in his furniture collections for Baker and McGuire. And with recent commissions for top-end residential developments in New York City and Miami, the designer is turning his unerring eye to projects of ever larger scale.
