Steven Gambrel, S.R. Gambrel, Inc. is well known for his projects that share a classical sensibility that comes alive with his individual mix of modern and traditional furnishings. He first sought out Robert Schwartz when a client wanted to do an all stainless kitchen.
Here's why:
"I knew of his great reputation for doing fantastic kitchens with this material. He's very thorough and very professional. He brings great options to the table, yet doesn't question your design even if it might seem a bit unusual."
Richard L. Ridge has been president of the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Design Committee for several years. He and his partner Roderick R. Denault have a long-standing relationship with Robert Schwartz.
Here's why:
"It's his know-how and his taste. He's the very best, always full of new ideas. What I really admire is his clever use of space."
Independent designer Florence Perchuk, CKD, was the first certified kitchen designer in New York City.
Here's what she has to say about her long-standing relationship with St. Charles of New York:
"First, I always know the vision I have will be translated quite easily. Second, they have the ability to follow a project's every detail from concept to finish."
St. Charles of New York regularly collaborates with Peter S. Balsam and Jayne Goldstein, of Peter S. Balsam Associates… most notably on the 2006 Kips Bay Decorator Show House kitchen.
Here's what Peter had to say about working with Karen Williams:
"She took my preliminary design and expanded on it in ways I would not have thought of. Working with Karen lets me totally relax. I don't have to visit the job site every day. Few people work at her level."
