1stDibs Introspective | David Frazier
David Frazier Enlivens a New York Loft with Sophisticated, Sculptural Forms
We all want our homes to be warm and inviting. But we want them to be cool, too, if we can pull it off. How does a designer adjust the dials to reach the perfect room temperature?
Very carefully, of course. David Frazier has shown a rare ability to create an inviting climate that sets clients at ease. He describes his work as “warm modernism,” a holy grail aesthetic that many quest for but few succeed in finding. Frazier is one of those few, managing to thaw modernism’s chillier aspects without losing its crisp impact. (He also sells timeless antiques and vintage furnishings through his 1stDibs storefront.)
An Alabama native who studied architecture at Auburn University and moved to New York 11 years ago, the designer first worked for the esteemed firm Meyer Davis, whose founders, Will Meyer and Gray Davis, he calls “my great mentors.” He started his own firm in 2017.
