About Me

He came late to interior design: Matthew Patrick Smyth enrolled at F.I.T. to become a photographer. His high school pictures of the many beautiful houses near his Hudson Valley home in Florida, New York, had been exhibited throughout the state, a promising sign. Then Smyth made fast friends with some designers working with clients in Stone Ridge and made a late-breaking decision to switch majors. After graduation, he spent six years working alongside David Easton before starting his own business.

Clients and colleagues alike are impressed by the confidence Smyth has in his taste; both also marvel at his willingness to discuss net prices within client's earshot. As is evident in his designs for residences from Southwest Harbor, Maine, to Palm Beach, Florida, his understanding of French and English art, architecture and antiques is comprehensive. But his apartment on the Upper East Side of New York serves another muse, that of a gentlemanly eclecticist: Its appointments and personal objects are reflective of his extensive travels in Europe, Asia and Africa. Conversation starters are everywhere and cocktail parties frequent. "Nothing," he has said, "was bought to fill a spot."
