Designing one’s home is a very personal process and I enjoy working with people to realize their dreams. I am equally comfortable working residential apartments and homes as well as NYC businesses. -------- In 2002 Sophie took her skills and passion for working with colors, fabrics and designs and started her own Interior Design and Event Company, Amathea. She caters to both residential as well as commercial projects. Years of contact and association as a fashion executive with a number of the most celebrated names in the fashion industry has led Sophie to develop a refined taste her Parisian “flair” mixes with her 25 years in NYC and her world travels enable her to create a unique, eclectic esthetic that she combines with her client’s individual tastes to create interiors that they truly enjoy or an event to remember. After graduating from New York University’s Stern School of Business in 1985, Sophie decided to stay in New York and join the family business. She spearheaded the launch of its “Miss Maud” line into the US and then assumed the position of Marketing and Merchandising Director of Maud Frizon Americas, where she oversaw the entire wholesale and retail operations.

She has excellent taste and works hard to bring the job in on time and budget. I like that Sophie can think outside of the box, yet always listens to her client's needs and desires. Everyone who came into the spaces made special mention of the colors she chose for the walls. They were unique and a bit daring, but people absolutely loved them. I would highly recommend Sophie Harrison. **★★★★★ — jmrny1001, Nov. 2015** > Sophie has a beautiful eye. I have worked with her on two Manhattan apartments and she has made them stunning. Sophie listens well to what I envision and then brings a ton of options from which I can choose or get my vision more focused. She has inspired me to take color "risks" for which I am so grateful given my penchant for monochromatic color schemes when left to my own devices. I highly recommend Sophie.. **★★★★★ — keeleysaskia, Oct. 2015** > Sophie Harrison, Amathea Ltd, has redesigned our two homes with a style and an expertise that have given us great satisfaction. Her eye for colors and textures is unsurpassed. Sophie is in synch with her clients' tastes and vision and she will follow guidance well while at the same time exploring many options for any given project. Her first renovation with us dates from seven years ago and we are still so pleased with all that she created. We did not hesitate to hire Sophie for our second renovation and once again she has worked her magic. **★★★★★ — miles\_h\_ankin, Oct. 2015** > Sophie added items one by one and the result was a harmonious living room that was both striking and comfortable. She used surprising colors that made the space interesting yet easy to live with. By carefully focusing on each item, Sophie introduced a feeling of energy while also creating a feeling of balance. Overall, she was able to bring to life a vision that I couldn't imagine on my own yet am delighted to live in. ## Selected projects - [Modern mix](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-mix-pj-vj~2120660) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 42 - [Manhattan Townhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/manhattan-townhouse-pj-vj~227959) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 24 - [Manhattan Apartment](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/manhattan-apartment-pj-vj~227933) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Boy's Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/boy-s-room-pj-vj~1416817) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Hamptons Beach House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hamptons-beach-house-pj-vj~1410839) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Playroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/playroom-pj-vj~1416793) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Girl's Bedroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/girl-s-bedroom-pj-vj~1410843) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Office Space](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/office-space-pj-vj~1410845) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Yves Saint Laurent Launch Party](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/yves-saint-laurent-launch-party-pj-vj~1410842) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Girl's Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/girl-s-bathroom-pj-vj~1416834) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Parisian Apartment](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/parisian-apartment-pj-vj~1416796) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Table Settings](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/table-settings-pj-vj~1416799) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Country Classic](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/country-classic-pj-vj~2122136) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 [See all 13 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/amathea-ltd-pfvwus-pf~126339596) ## Ideabooks - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/131468183/list/wish-list) — 7 ideas - [Gineva Caltagiro - Architectural Digest](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/57590450/list/gineva-caltagiro-architectural-digest) — 9 ideas - [Les Plus Beaux Interieurs](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/57590108/list/les-plus-beaux-interieurs) — 5 ideas [See all 3 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/amathea) ## Community Q&A **Q: What is the brand name of the loft bed?** *(in Photo Questions)* I was also wondering if it is metal and a full size bed?
