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.

“Baker Furniture is about things chosen well rather than often.”
– HOLLIS BAKER
Baker speaks the language of style. Celebrated for the purity of its work, from striking original proportions to inspirations from today’s most preeminent designers, Baker is the place for the classics and the unexpected.
Each collection is assembled one item at a time, from wood acquired for it alone and from fabrics found the world over. Each piece reveals the hand of the craftsman — whether carving or inlay or a well-fit drawer — with no room for compromise and no two the same.
