FR Review:
Russell Piccione has developed a discreet group of loyal patrons who tell us they benefit from his expansive knowledge and attentive nature. Piccione signs on only a few clients a year and takes an extremely hands-on approach to the client, the details, and the overall quality. He is known to advise on every kind of design-related family decision, including helping the husbands choose jewelry for their wives. Most of his New York clients are on Manhattan's Upper East Side, though the firm also tackles projects in Connecticut and on Shelter Island. Piccione's set are generally quality-biased and tradition-minded, and often appreciate fine art and antiques. This works well for Piccione, who is known for his encyclopedic understanding of Continental furniture and art.
The firm asks for a small design fee, but a requires substantial retainer. Products are purchased at standard markups with a sliding scale for higher-priced antiques. Piccione reportedly favors higher-quality/cost fabrics and furnishings. The dedicated designer has developed an equally dedicated fan base.
Representative Client Comments:
"Client relationships are so important to him that he interviews you, not the other way around." "His patience is limitless, he will take me to the D&D all day just to find the right trim." "He has a very small group of clients that he takes care of very well." "He doesn't fool around with lower quality fabrics and is not one to focus on price tags, but he does not spend money stupidly either." "He takes great care to understand and appreciate his client's particular interests and needs." "Grander than grand." "He is a maniac for quality, but will use Crate & Barrel for the beach house." "Anyone who uses him loves him."
