Rachel Schwartz’s interest in the creative arts landed her jobs in New York and California at Atlantic Records, Rolling Stone Magazine, ABC-TV and Avenue Pictures. That was followed by 10 years marketing her family’s century-old paper business. Rachel grew up in a home where aesthetic adventure was abundant, so it was natural for her to be inspired by design, hue and luxury. A passionate collector from the time she was sixteen, Rachel has an innate space and color sensibility – her rooms are imaginative and inventive but always livable. Her style is maximalist without being excessive, mixing old and new, classic and unusual, welcoming a healthy dose of color, shape and texture that radiates throughout her work. Rachel sees every inch of a room from the ceiling to the floorboards and doesn’t miss a detail. Equally comfortable in a suburban colonial, 18th century farmhouse, city apartment or beach bungalow, Rachel has vision.
When not collaborating with clients, Rachel can be found designing custom wallpaper, on a quest for vintage textiles and artisan furniture makers or at trade shows and antique marts. She will comb the Internet for fresh ideas, antiques and one-of-a-kind items, all so her client can have that ONE special piece. She will stop at nothing! At the end of the day, Rachel’s been known to sneak into the back of a yoga class or enjoy a (rare) quiet moment at home with her cat, dog, husband and 3 young children (in that order).
INSPIRATION:
1. What inspired you for making the Designer Dog House?
I wanted my interpretation to reflect my style, but I also wanted it to be whimsical and fun. I tried to combine the two by having it be stylish and chic AND have a sense of humor.
2. What is unique about your Designer Dog House?
My doghouse is really a HOME. The lucky pooch can enjoy the luxury of their "Living Room," surrounded by things they love. There are pictures of loved ones, a greeting at the door, luxe wallcoverings, and a cushy floor.
3. Please share something about yourself.
My goal is always to create a space that is unique to the client. You won’t see the same look or pieces in someone else’s home because we designed everything to meet your aesthetic, style and needs. We seek original textiles and shapes you won't see anywhere else.
