Meet the Team

Bob and Gloria Fox


  • My career has taken me on a broad path through the world of Design and Architecture.

    I was extremely interested Antique furniture has held an interest throughout my career .

    I worked with clients who were acquiring furniture and Art for their homes traveling to England and to source mostly 18th and 19th century furniture.

    This was at a time when Harold Sack was transforming the world of Antique collecting in the United States and selling privately or at Auction. I followed the sales and learned not only about collecting beautiful furnishings for the home but also about appreciating their handmade quality.

    It was this experience in learning which created a richness of quality, that informed my understanding of scale, comfort and composition that cultivated my design sensibilities.

    Quality takes a keen eye and an interest in understanding from materials and techniques that make a wholistic experience in the built environment.

    Whether it’s a lobby to a 50 story building or the most intimate personal spaces we enjoy in the privacy of our home.

    It’s not unfettered spaciousness that imbues luxury it’s the intimacy and feeling comforted.
