The partners create sophisticated interiors that are individually conceived, refined and meticulously crafted. Luxury is the hallmark of the New York-based firm, whose work forges a perfect balance between timelessness and today.

McIntosh and Raffone bring their respective takes on contemporary design, curation, and elegance to bear in a range of luxurious residential and commercial projects. McIntosh is widely regarded as one of the designers to popularize ultra-luxury in interior design, beginning in the 1980s.

Raffone is lauded for his layered approach to interiors and the confidence with which he juxtaposes a variety of textiles and colors from many of the industry’s best design resources.

McIntosh and Raffone have completed elegant, polished interiors in many of Manhattan’s “it” buildings—including 432 Park, the Plaza, the Puck Building, and Herzog & de Meuron’s 160 Leroy Street—as well as in projects in Miami, Palm Beach, San Francisco, London, luxurious beach houses, stately townhouses and lush retreats from St Barths to Morocco.
