Bill 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. Materials and architectural details take their cue from the
context of the project at hand with careful consideration for function
and a client’s individual personality and needs.
His furniture and product design is 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.
In 1983, Mr. Sofield received his degree in Architecture and Urban
Planning from Princeton University, following an academic focus on
Art History and European Cultural Studies. He is also the recipient
of the Helena Rubinstein Fellowship from the Whitney Museum of
American Art.
