| The Principals What makes a great design partnership? A symbiotic union of style and experience that doesn’t compete, but completes. That’s certainly true of Benjamin Bradley and David Thiergartner. Separate dreams and different paths led Benjamin and David to NYC, but shared sensibilities, and a creative current coursing through each, brought them together. Neither aimed for a career in interior design, yet each, in his own way, was always heading towards it. |

Benjamin Bradley Benjamin, creative to his very core, literally cannot go a day without creating. One junior high summer, young Benjamin assigned himself a prodigious task. He dedicated his entire vacation to making something different every day. “Creating something every day was tied to my happiness, and still is.” says Benjamin. His creative endeavors led him to a degree in Apparel Design & Technology at his native Indiana’s Purdue University and later to fashion Mecca FIT. An up-and-coming eveningwear designer, Benjamin soon tired of 7th Avenue and left for a home furnishings job at an eminent retailer. |

David Thiergartner David, the trained L.A. musician with the big voice, headed east searching for the big break. While waiting for “it,” a temporary internship at the same eminent NYC home retailer turned a passion for music into a passion for product design. As with his music, the quest for beauty gave voice to his design talent– and interior design became his new instrument. “Beauty,” says David “is my driving force. I crave it - inside my head and outside of it.” |
| Opportunity met preparation. In helping customers craft more beautiful, comfortable living spaces, Benjamin had found the perfect vehicle for his creative talents and characteristic elegance – interior design. For David, the selling floor was theater and the merchandise he created, his set; the customers his audience; the rave reviews, his thrill. Two paths and destinies intersect when L.A. meets the Mid-West at East Coast home furnishings icon. They unite with a common goal: Creating beauty. Every day for twenty years. |
