Christmas Time

According to their luxurious watches, it's time for Christmas at the Manhattan Audemars Piguet store on 57th St. and we decked out their front window with chic holiday cheer. Featuring a decorated 12-foot tree using gold and burgundy trimmings like gold flecked velvet leaves, globes of blown burgundy glass and ribbons. Beribboned gift boxes around the base of the tree highlighted an inset selection of diamond encrusted, gold, silver and platinum timepieces.

Snow & D. Porthault

Geoff's original drawing for the design of the winter windows at the luxury French Linen maker D. Porthault at 470 Park Ave.


The final result, a wintery scene featuring light- studded white laurel branches with perching doves reaching out over a pair of Porthault Blue velvet upholstered authentic 18th century chairs featuring a luxurious selection of D. Porthault's products.




The interior of the store was styled to showcase holday gifts and the latest arrivals.


PRESS: Geoff designs are featured on Guest of a Guest during a D. Porthault Holiday Party on December 18th.

A Wilderstein Christmas

As part of the Board of Directors for the beautiful Wilderstein Historic Site in Rhinebeck, Geoff was asked to design and decorate one of the sitting rooms for Christmas. This year, a seductive winter princess illuminates the antique chandelier, dressed in a enormous gown made of paper and white branches that fills the room.
