For Baker, Bill Sofield has created a collection of essential pieces that celebrate
and respect the great heritage of design that is Baker's renowned legacy.
Infused with a Modernist vocabulary appropriate for today's needs,
the collection reflects Sofield's exacting eye and clean approach marrying a sophisticated,
luxurious style with a thoughtful consideration for utility and craft.
In 1983, Mr. Sofield received his degree in Architecture and Urban Planning from Princeton
University, following an academic focus on Art History and European Cultural Studies.
He is also the recipient of the Helena Rubinstein Fellowship from the Whitney Museum of American Art.
He founded Studio Sofield in 1996 with the express goal of integrating multiple design
disciplines. The Studio's vast portfolio includes residential, retail, hospitality,
office and landscape design. Sofield created a successful collection for Baker, The Bill
Sofield Collection, introducing designs in 2001 and 2005, and recently launched the Jeton
Collection, a complete bathroom suite for Kallista.
Described by the design press as "on fabulosity's fast track,"
Sofield has been recognized for his design leadership most recently by House Beautiful in their "Best of the Best" issue.
Sofield is a lecturer at numerous schools and universities and is a Fellow of the Frick Collection.
He is an active patron of the Brooklyn Academy of Music and donates design services and strategic support
to many nonprofit organizations, including the Irvington Institute for Medical Research,
