Phillip Thomas Inc.

Phillip Thomas, Founder and Principal of Phillip Thomas Inc., believes that each and every project should reflect his clients' individual personalities and lifestyles through elegant, timeless, and livable interiors. Beautiful materials and an unparalleled attention to detail are essential to a successful design project and are apparent to clients as they participate in the design process, and later, as they live in their new home.

From a young age, Thomas recognized his passion for interior design. His childhood was spent in New York City and South America and traveling extensively throughout the world. These experiences serve as a constant source of inspiration apparent in Thomas’s work, its exuberant colors, textures, architecture, and eclectic details.

Since establishing his own firm in 2011, Thomas has worked with a wide-range of clients on projects both in the United States and internationally, and work can be found in many of the top buildings in New York City including the Dakota, 15 Central Park West, River House, and One Madison.
