This Is Why I Do It!!!

Because maybe, 
just maybe I will have the opportunity 
to design a space or two like one of Eric Cohler's. 
I love what he does....
his work is complex ....
and intricate,
yet clean and simple when he needs to be.
And then he does 'WOW' to perfection.

Love. Love. Love.
I Love this even more




Eric Cohler has credentials that would impress anyone.


Have a nice weekend. XXX's

I am hoping that I will too.

But it may depend on how well my presentation goes 
(on Saturday AM)
 with the notorious 'Sidney and Rebecca' on their 
 new winter home.



Eric Cohler
Eric Cohler creates interior designs that infuse traditional forms with the unexpected. Considered one of the country's leading designers, industry magazine editors have dubbed Cohler the "Mixmaster" for his use of contemporary materials, which, juxtaposed with classical elements, give his interiors a jolt of unusual color and texture, as well as great comfort. Since establishing his firm in 1991, House Beautiful has described him as one of the 14 "best of the best" in the "next wave of designers in America," and he is included annually in their "Top 100" issue. His aesthetic is sought after for the country's top showhouses, including the Kips Bay and Hampton Designer Showhouses. Cohler's work often appears in leading domestic and international periodicals, books, and design television shows. Interior design manufacturers have taken notice of Cohler's distinctive design aesthetic, with Visual Comfort carrying his lighting designs, and Lee Jofa premiering a Cohler fabric collection in September 2006. Eric Cohler holds a Masters Degree in Historic Preservation from the Columbia University School of Architecture and a certificate in design from the Harvard Graduate School of Design.

  2. I agree, Cohler is extremely talented, combining classical with modern, which to my way of thinking requires the ultimate in creativity. His work inspires me - it's very similar to David Hicks's - another great influence on me.

    Hope you have a productive day with your clients!

  9. Renee,

    You always do your best because that's the designer we follow and love who you are....authentic. The art of the potiential client presentation reveals how well we've heard what is and isn't said. No two presentations are the same and we gain more than we realize.

    Looking forward to hearing what this meeting revealed.

  13. WOW - I'm a new fan too. Especially in love with that "maze" rug in deep navy, but the dining room in chinoiserie style is charming too.

About Renée Finberg

I have been in this business since the age of 22.

I love what I do and cannot imagine my life without Design.

Design Challenges are great.

And because of those challenges

I have imported fine antique pieces from Paris,

Designed and Manufactured Furniture,

Created Fantastic Window Treatments,

And solved all kinds of spatial & architectural issues

With my unique style.

If I can't find it, I create it.

My rooms would make excellent movie sets.

I am a visual, tactile and audio sensitive individual.

Creating is what I live for, not math, not spelling, not science.

Just Great Design.

Just imagine how it would be if each of us,

If only for a few hours of everyday,We could be in a space that is our very own.A place that is exactly the way we want it to be

Surrounded by all the things we wanted to see,

The atmosphere we wanted feel, smell and the sound we wanted to listen to.
