Stamberg Aferiat + Associates Founded in 1989 by Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat, Stamberg Aferiat + Associates is a comprehensive design firm based in New York City. Stamberg and Aferiat defy the predictable by synthesizing form, light, color and context into clear and compelling architectural experiences. For three decades they have received widespread acclaim for projects that captivate global audiences and challenge the status quo in residential, hotel, commercial and cultural typologies. While still remaining at the forefront of design conversation, Stamberg Aferiat’s work is bespoken to clients’ aspirations and realities. The result is an incomparable group of built works ranging from the cubist forms at the Shelter Island Pavilion to an elegant and minimal phased expansion to one of Richard Meier’s earliest works, the Hoffman House. Challenged by working within existing conditions, Stamberg Aferiat’s has many representative works of interior design and open landscapes, and special projects by Stamberg Aferiat include: the Salsa Sofa Collection in production by Knoll since 1994 an updated edition of their award-winning monograph published by Rizzolli, featuring essays by art and architecture icons Paul Goldberger, Joseph Rosa, David Hockney, Richard Meier and Charles Gwathmey and hotel branded merchandise.
