Somerset House began as a retail space that housed a growing collection of vintage furniture and collectible items sourced from past interior design and staging projects. The retail space quickly evolved into a gallery and design studio. The design studio has quickly grown over the past 2 years, working consistently on residential and commercial projects across New York, Brooklyn, Long Island, and California. Somerset House is influenced by different design movements and eras, ranging from Italian and Danish Modern to hints of Baroque and Primitive. We are drawn to unusual pieces and combinations that stand the test of time.
