"It is often said that
Joe Nahem is the designer to call when you want Chanel with combat boots. In
other words: pure luxury tempered with a bit of funk. Like his varied list
of clients, Nahem’s design work is a diverse mix. For every chic Manhattan

or Americana-themed farmhouse. The thread that runs through all of his work
is the designer’s sense of innovation – his rooms are as novel as they are
inviting.
