BILL SOFIELD

"The approach was to create soulful, body conscious designs celebrating a natural material vocabulary that was much more raw and infers a quiet elegance. McGuire was the ideal partner for this collaboration because of their dedication to craft, which is something close to my heart and their appreciation for thoughtful, sophisticated design."

• Bill Sofield Room Scenes

William Sofield is considered one of the most thoughtful talents of his generation. A rigorous Modernist, Sofield believes in the credo that design must live as well as it looks. His work is defined not by a particular style, but by a holistic approach to design that addresses the requirements of living and where luxury emanates from fidelity to craft. His furniture and product design are imbued with a sophisticated respect for materiality and a concern for how a design should improve with use and age to become an object of legacy. Mr. Sofield has been described by Interior Design magazine as a 'choreographer' of spaces.

He founded Studio Sofield in 1996 with the express goal of integrating multiple design disciplines. The Studio's vast portfolio includes residential, retail, hospitality, office, and landscape design.
