Back to the 2014 AD100 List

Luxury is expressed with exquisite subtlety in the work of William Sofield. The Manhattan designer’s rooms and architectural schemes gather strength not from outré decorative effects but from a quiet confidence that makes his unexpected juxtapositions of periods, styles, and materials seem almost effortless. Whether it’s an Aspen ski house that layers extraordinary furnishings and objects in a muscular wood-and-stone structure or a sleek Tom Ford boutique enrobed in lacquer and marble, Sofield’s interiors speak of glamour and discernment—traits that come to life in his furniture collections for Baker and McGuire. And with recent commissions for top-end residential developments in New York City and Miami, the designer is turning his unerring eye to projects of ever larger scale. studiosofieldom
