Michael Friedes Design Associates Information

I’m extremely passionate about design and have been consistently told that my talent and enthusiasm are evidenced in my creative vision, client interactions and final products. My design aesthetic has been defined from ‘Elegance with an Edge’ to ‘New York Chic Meets California Casual’ to ‘Modern, Yet Cozy.’ While my designs evoke a range of emotions, the living spaces and custom products I create are always imaginative, functional and comfortable. Through the sophisticated integration of color, textures, materials, art and accessories, I create inspired, inviting spaces that are refined and timeless -- and unequivocally unique. Understanding my clients’ lifestyle and aesthetic allows me to create spaces and home furnishings that fit their individual needs and preferences. I have an intuitive sense for the designs and details that will resonate and inspire new ideas, often helping others discover their untapped style. I’m able to visualize and articulate a clear, compelling vision for the end result, enjoy guiding my clients through the design process, and find great satisfaction in taking my design vision from concept through full execution. In addition to my interior and custom product design work with individual clients, I’ve collaborated with home furnishings manufacturers on art, rug and lighting collections over the years, with my newest rug collection with The Rug Finder.
