Workstead

Brooklyn-based design studio Workstead
masterfully combines traditional inspiration with
contemporary elegance.
Workstead designs one-of-a-kind interiors and pieces
that balance beauty with necessity, and this book
presents a special blend of their tour-de-force historic
renovations and innovative yet elegant new constructions.
Over the past decade, the multidisciplinary
design firm has earned rapid and wide acclaim for
both their residential interiors as well as for largerscale
projects, such as the Wythe Hotel in Brooklyn
and the Rivertown Lodge in Hudson, New York. In
all their projects, Workstead considers both clients
and community, working with local artisans to create
meticulously crafted modern interiors, architecture,
and furniture designs inflected by history.
As T: The New York Times Style Magazine put it,
Workstead “are known as sophisticated pack rats
who surround themselves with objects that have a
story to tell,” and described their collective design
philosophy as “a cozy, updated version of early
Americana, with wood plank floors and a mix of
vintage and refined custom-built furniture pieces
that are almost Scandinavian in their restraint.”
