William Sofield
William Sofield began his career at Ralph Lauren and then took time off to apprentice with an Italian woodworker. Eventually, he and a fellow Ralph Lauren alum opened Aero Studios, a design company based in New York. He followed that by lauching his own firm, designing everything from Gucci boutiques worldwide to interiors of the Soho Grand Hotel in New York. Sofield likes to say that if he does his job well, “no one will know that I was there. I really do believe in the anonymity of design. It should feel inevitable.”
