What's your inspiration?
When we approach design, we are always inspired by NYC and how lucky we are to be living and working in this city, where we are constantly inspired. We share a deep passion for pure design, in architecture, furniture and objects and love to travel and visit museums and galleries. We also both collectively have a vast archive of magazines and books dating back to the 1970s that we are always drawing upon for inspiration.
