Business Details
Your Trusted Interior Design Partner in New York
2 Michaels is an interior design studio founded by sisters Joan and Jayne Michaels, whose collaborative approach blends fresh, effortless, and poetic aesthetics. Our journey began in Palm Springs, California, and evolved through formative experiences in Milan, Italy, where we studied the works of design luminaries like Franco Albini and Gio Ponti. After earning degrees in Interior Design from the Fashion Institute of Technology (F.I.T.), we established our studio in New York City, where we specialize in creating spaces that reflect each clients distinct personality and life history. Our portfolio spans lofts, pre-war co-ops, modern condominiums, and houses across the U.S. and internationally, with a focus on timeless elegance, functionality, and attention to detail. We prioritize client collaboration, ensuring every project adheres to budgets while maintaining quality and value. Recognized in Elle Decors A List, Luxe Magazines Gold List, and New York Spaces Top 50 Designers, our work has also been featured in prestigious publications such as Departures and Traditional Home.Our process begins with in-depth research into each spaces history and environment, followed by precise measurements, 3D imaging, and curated selections of furnishings, fabrics, and art. We collaborate with a trusted network of architects, contractors, and artisans to deliver seamless results. Clients praise our ability to balance artistic vision with practicality, creating spaces that are both beautiful and livable. Whether designing residential or commercial interiors, including a 10,000-square-foot law firm office, we prioritize clean, modern, and functional aesthetics.
