"Pia and Larry,
My family and I are so pleased with the transformation that you have brought to our home. The stylishness has modernized our living space. The colours that you have married to existing pieces have transformed these rooms to places of warm tranquility. Finally, your follow up attention to details and service in rectifying the minor items that needed to be addressed was beyond reproach. In today's world, where service paid for is invariably sub par, you have set a standard that others could do well to follow. Thank you Pia and Larry!

"We were always looking for someone who specializes in Contemporary Furniture. We liked what we saw on the site but like most people we were skeptical as to whether we will get what we actually see on the site or whether the pictures really belong to real people. On visiting your Showroom both of us were very pleased and it was like seeing our pictures in our mind for real. Being a total novice in the Interior Designing Area we were pleased the way Pia Designed our Furniture/Color Combination/Rugs but the most exciting part was to see the Design on the paper actually turn into Reality when we got Delivery of the Furniture. Design on paper does no justice to the actual Furniture. Our friends and family who have visited our home said WOW – this is really cool." TSD & SD, Monroe, New Jersey

For those of you who remember the hedonistic days of Studio 54, and the unique times and personalities
of that era, here is a quote from the man Time magazine calls.......
"The godfather of the U.S. paparazzi culture" and his equally famous wife
"Walking into Pia's amazing showroom, I was overwhelmed and felt that Ron and I would never come to terms over which direction to take (I'm tradition
al, he's contemporary). All I really knew was that I wanted high impact and drama to best showcase Ron's photography. The result has been absolutely magical. As in "pop", the colors are vibrant, and the furnishings are amazing.
In our opinion, the most beautiful form in nature is the sphere, and Pia gave us exactly what we were looking for--curves in our sofa and rug designs. Her designs are amazing works of art.
Pia rocks! She's half marriage counselor, but 100% Plus great designer!!!!!"

Good morning Pia, Larry & Alex,

Hi Pia and Larry... I can't stop eyeing the beautiful table, delivered yesterday! It has transformedthe room! Thanks so much for your assistance with expediting the delivery. Steve has now decided that the room needs another chair (naturally, I agree). So, I'll be back in touch soon. Thanks again and please thank Alex as well. VW, Warwick, NY.
"We had spent one year with a decorator and found nothing, and within one hour of meeting Larry, found what we had been searching for! Then within the next week we consulted with Pia, who came to our home, helped select our accent wall colors and some additional furniture, then designed a custom rug which pulled it all together -[and really kicks ass] we were done, our marriage was saved! Thank you guys so much!!"
together, I am thrilled with all of Pia's choices. I look forward to coming home every day."
