2Michaels is a New York City based Interior Design firm founded by
sisters Jayne and Joan Michaels. The children of an aerospace
engineer and a painter; they inherited their mother's artistic spirit
and their father's obsession for detail. Their passion for modern
architecture and design started in Palm Springs, California and
developed in Milan, Italy, where they were exposed to such mid-century
geniuses as Franco Albini and Gio Ponti. Their design sensibility
continued to evolve at Parson's School of Design and F.I.T where they
earned degrees in Interior Design.
Established in 2001, 2Michaels has attracted and satisfied both artistic
and business-minded clients, ranging from downtown playwrights to a
midtown law firms. They are inspired by working with their clients and
treat the process as one of collaboration, not dictation. In 2006,
2Michaels teamed with prominent 20th century gallerist/curator Larry
Weinberg to create 4PM, a mid-century antique gallery at Center44.
2Michaels charges a standard design fee for furnishings, fixtures and
improvements and an hourly fee for custom work and architectural
drawings. 2Michaels, as a matter of policy, always returns to the
client any discount or net price available.
