Sofield's fascination with home interiors extends back to one of his first influences-his Japanese-style
childhood home-and encompasses his entire career. Early on, Sofield worked for Ralph Lauren,
where he was assigned to reinterpret the designer's home collection for each season.
In 1992, he co-founded Aero Studios in New York, the much-admired design studio and store offering an array of
custom furnishings and design services, along with selected home and office accessories created by artisans.
A rigorous modernist who draws from elements of pop culture and the traditions of fine art to create high-style work,
designer Bill Sofield believes in mixing the traditional with the adventurous.
Sofield's work is streamlined but sensual, characterized by a comfortable integration of craft
and vintage objects into wholly original environments.
Sofield insists that materials and details take their cues from both the context of the project
and the needs of the client. His ability to sculpt spaces with great sensitivity has led Interior
Design magazine to call him "the choreographer of interiors."
