A New York Interiors Studio, Seventeen Years In: Travis Grimm's Residential Practice

Travis Grimm started Travis Grimm Interiors in 2009, and he runs it from New York City. The firm does one kind of work: the rooms people live in. A studio in New York that designs only homes is working in the most demanding residential market in the country, where a client's apartment, townhouse or weekend place is often the most personal thing they own. The practice's reputation rests on polish and considered refinement, which is what a reader opening the door to one of its rooms would expect to find. By this fall the studio has been at it for seventeen years, a long run for a practice with the founder's name on the door.
