Style meets charm, reinvention meets function, contemporary aesthetic meets the feel of home -- this is steve + filip design. The Chicago based design firm is a two man team, Steve Somogyi and Filip Malyszko. The roots of the company began when Steve worked in residential real estate, brokering high-end homes. His love of design soon overtook his heart and soul and he began to consult his clients on concepts for their homes and offices. This development clicked and his focus narrowed to where his true talents lie.  During this time, he met Filip over a drafting table at Harrington College of Design. They quickly became friends. Steve adored Filip's aesthetic and eye for detail, Filip loved Steve's fearless hands-on attitude. They soon realized that he had met each other's match. After graduation, they joined forces and eventually exchanged rings to become a Husband and Husband team. Steve and Filip welded their individual strengths together to form a solid structure. In turn, the architecture of steve + filip design was put into place and continues to strengthen every step of the way. For over a decade, the duo have specialized in full service strategies for new construction and renovations. Their goal is to create unique schemes for homes, offices, and retail spaces with an emphasis on quality and elegance.

**★★★★★ — donnafil23, Sept. 2018**

> We hired steve+filip for a complete remodel of a 1970s apartment. They were amazing at interpreting my vague thoughts and turning them into a beautiful, happy, non beige home. They respected the budget and made thoughtful”high/low” suggestions. We could not be any happier!

**★★★★★ — kkaret, March 2015**

> Steve and Filip are an excellent team. I have worked with them on my New York and CT homes.  They are highly attentive, have very complimentary skill sets and know exactly how to interpret my direction and bring something extra.  I love working with them.

**★★★★★ — Susan sikich, March 2015**

> I have worked with The Somogyi Group on three home projects with the last being a major renovation of a Chicago condo.  All craftsmen and contractors were extremely professional and skilled.  The project came in on time and on budget.  The Somogyi Group is talented, ethical and easy to work with on all aspects.

**★★★★★ — robinpetro, March 2015**

> From conceptualizing the layout and design of the space to finishing with thoughtful, stylish touches, the Somogyi Group exceeded our expectations. When IntraSpectrum Counseling opened its first location, we hired the Somogyi Group. By asking us questions about our tastes and desires, Steve and Filip were able to create a space that uniquely fit our needs. Their professionalism coupled with their friendly demeanors made them easy to work with. When our company expanded to it second location, we hired the Somogyi Group again. This time they renovated an open floor plan into a welcoming reception area, six offices, and a kitchen. Clients often remark on the beauty and comfort of the space. As we are now expanding our Michigan Avenue location, we are excitedly hiring the Somogyi Group to once again design and furnish our space.

**★★★★★ — Marcy Pawlak, Feb. 2015**

> Steve & Filip redesigned our entire first floor. They built on what we had, made the space more functional, more beautiful, more US... They made our house our HOME.  A unique blend of vintage and industrial, but always with a wink and surprise.
>
> We cannot speak highly enough of the Somogyi Group- these guys are stylish, creative, true professionals and fun!

**★★★★★ — Megan Schrecengost, Oct. 2014**

> Here is the story of how the Somogyi Group gave us the home we needed:
>
> People involved are Me: Megan, My husband: Matt, Fabulous Designers: Steve and Filip
>
> Matt: Honey, our house is driving me insane! There's nowhere for company to sit! There isn’t a good place to sit down and eat! There’s nowhere to hang my coat! I lost my man-room in the basement! I can't stand being home!
>
> Me: (Ring ring...) Hey Steve, we need your help, desperately. We've lived here in this beautiful house for 5 years, but we CANNOT get the layout right. My husband hates being home, and I am out of ideas for how to make this work!
>
> Steve: I love a design problem! Let's do this!!
>
> (a short time later)
>
> Steve: OK, Matt and Megan, here are my ideas for the best way to solve the problems you're experiencing, and to bring organization, functionality,  and joy into the design of your home. We can repurpose lots of your furniture, and also recommend the purchase of a few important pieces that you're missing.
>
> Matt: You know what? I normally get nervous about stuff like this, but I say go for it. Do everything you want. Here's the budget I'd like you to stick with... will that work?
>
> Steve: We can make that work.
>
> Me: (Oh my gosh, yes yes thank you yes)
>
> (a couple months later, and the job is complete)
>
> Me: (tears in my eyes) Oh my gosh. My home!!! Look at this living room! This kitchen! That reading nook! All the gorgeous and cozy colors!
>
> Matt: (eyes wide and a smile on his face): Well, heck! We got a new house! These guys are really good. I wish we’d had them do every room!
>
> High fives and hugs all around.
>
> To summarize, Steve and Filip heard our problems, identified some we hadn't realized, presented exciting solutions, and because we completely gave them the reigns and let them do their thing, were able to create for us a place that meets exactly what our family needed. I couldn't be more grateful to Steve and Filip for their excellent taste, talent and time and attention to every last detail.  Matt and I both are so happy to be home.
>
> And I just have to gush about this... our new family continues to knock my socks off. I see it out of the corner of my eye and I have to go back and smile at it. I sit on our new couch surrounded by the warm colors and I just can't stop smiling. It looks so beautiful. It feels so cozy. It is the perfect space for family and guests. I just love it.

**Comment from steve + filip design:**

> Megan -- It was a pleasure helping you out.  We are thrilled that you guys are so happy with the results!

**★★★★★ — w10780, May 2014**

> We didn’t know what to expect when we moved from our large suburban home to a smaller sized newly constructed duplex condo in Wicker Park.  We eliminated as much as we could, and wanted to change our style completely since our suburban house was warm but dated.
>
> Steve and Filip worked with us on every aspect of our condo. They visited us at our suburban home in order to understand how we lived and what pieces we could re-purpose in the new space.  Functionality was just as important as looks since space was at a premium.  They presented contemporary ideas that were both practical and beautiful.  Their collaborative approach to design makes them unique -- they didn’t tell us what we should do but instead made it a point to understand our needs before providing several creative suggestions for each room.  We were able to pick and choose what we liked.  They envisioned the final product in a way we never could have imagined!  Every room ties together into one harmonious space as opposed to individual rooms.  Our new condo is our sanctuary -- so warm, inviting and comfortable!
>
> We highly recommend The Somogyi Group for their vision, style, collaboration, and the sheer beauty of the final product. - We give them 5 stars!!!

**★★★★★ — moxiemix, Sept. 2013**

> When the remodeling of my beautiful vintage flat in Ukrainian Village was complete I was delighted and impressed.  Putting absolute trust in Filip and Steve's expertise and impeccable esthetics, my two bedroom apartment was enhanced with a brand new home office, a stunning living room and mood lighting throughout.
>
> With genuine care they listened to my vision, provided stellar feedback,  added creative ideas and direction.  When the project was under way the work was completed efficiently and right on the budget.  I was thrilled with their clever repurposing of art pieces and furniture throughout the entire living space.  The end result was so good I only wished I have done it sooner.  Modern vintage with subtle industrial touches made my work area inviting and bright.  The new living room became lush with colors and comfort.  Most importantly, they made my home feel so much more embracing and welcoming ~ an uber cool place I can't wait to get back to every time I leave.

**★★★★★ — Basa Projects, LLC, Jan. 2013**

> Being an artist, I know this reveals my bias, but Steve and Filip are among the elite interior designers who are placing original artwork by serious artists in their projects. They've bought my paintings for clients as well as used it to style photos.  The attached image shows "Riven", a 50" x 50" oil and beeswax on panel.
>
> I've gotten to know their design philosophy as eclectic, unpretentious, creative and individualized to each client.  On top of that, Steve and Filip are genuinely generous and caring people who want to make the world a better place.  This is evident not only in their volunteer and charity work, but in the amount of thought they give to using repurposed and sustainable materials.  And by supporting local artists! :-)
