William Sofield worked at Ralph Lauren Home with Thomas O’Brien before the two opened Aero in the 1990s. While O’Brien is associated with classic, all-American style, Sofield is known for show-stopping glamour and incredible craftsmanship, the result of his diverse background (including an Ivy League education, an apprenticeship with an Italian woodworker, and the design of 400 boutiques for Gucci, Yves St. Laurent and Tom Ford).
Interior Design summed up Sofield’s career and style thus: “Sofield’s ascent to stardom can be attributed to his unerring ability to reinterpret modernism. And he does so with an arresting combination of controlled virtuosity and a flair for the theatrical.”
“Whether it’s lacquer or Lucite,” Sofield said, “my work is grounded in craft and materiality.”
