As might be expected from the creator of more than 400 boutiques for Gucci, New York’s Soho Grand Hotel, and swank furniture for Baker, Sofield crafts spaces that are almost decadent in their interplay of materials, history, and mood. The Princeton-trained architect-designer has a luxurious, worldly aesthetic that spans from rigorous haute-industrial allure to theatrical pan-Asian refinement. Though he considers himself a modernist, his work often nods to 1930s Hollywood glamour and features hand-wrought finishes and custom pleces that celebrate the artisan.
