FR Review:
A gentle warmth is reflected in Mark Weaver's work, a glow that invites the onlooker to come and take a seat. The firm prides itself on active collaboration with the client, finding a seamless balance between the traditional and the more contemporary, with comfort as a primary goal. With headquarters on the West Coast, Weaver favors California forms in soothing neutrals, with punches of graphic art throughout. Italian influences also may be seen, with frequent trips abroad. References report that not only are the rooms calm, but so is the process.
Raised in Southern California, Weaver moved to LA to attend Woodbury College, and soon thereafter worked with respected old-line designer Frank Austin. In 1969, he set up on his own and soon had a society editor client. There are five members of the team, including Darrell Wilson, who received a master's of architecture at Princeton and a master's of fine arts at the Otis School. The firm can do the most complete jobs, down to placing the clothes in the closet and lighting the fireplace, but it is also open to refurbishing a few rooms. Though Weaver has connections in New York, his unique California sources can help break the mold, and usually at a lower cost.
Clients report that the process is quite clear, with a specific letter of agreement. The firm charges a standard up-front design fee and standard markups on product. Weaver has maintained the loyalty of clients over his 35-year career, now doing several children's and grandchildren's homes.
Representative Client Comments:
"As a dealer, I see them all. Mark is really a terrific person." "He gave us the confidence to take on a new look, but never pushed us beyond our comfort zone." "Mark has a very clear-cut approach. There is continuity in his work." "He absolutely helped us avoid trendiness and errors in judgment." "Mark can do everything in Crate & Barrel, bring in the finest Pompeiian artifacts or get an antique Grecian bed reproduced." "Everything is so well defined with an excellent road map."
