About the Studio
Nearly four decades of quiet, considered craft.
Founded in 1987, Josef Anthony Designs has become one of the most respected luxury interior design studios in the United States. Our work spans generations of clients and continents of inspiration, but it remains rooted in a singular belief: that great interiors are quiet, enduring, and built around the lives they serve.
We work intimately with each client, often over many years and many residences. Our process is deliberate, our collaborations long, and our attention to craft and detail uncompromising. The result is a body of work admired for its restraint, proportion, and warmth.

Philosophy
"Luxury is the absence of everything unnecessary. What remains is light, proportion, and the warmth of objects chosen with intention."
