Story
At Watson & Co we are curious about our world. We glean our client's curiosities into a dynamic, livable home environment with spaces that are dramatic yet calming, finished yet practical. Since 1991, we have helped people surround themselves with furniture, lighting, art and objects that enrich and enhance their lives.
We enjoy contrasts that accentuate these curiosities: a Jean Michel Basquiat painting with a George III desk, a Lucite cocktail table in an otherwise traditional setting. Our strength is getting to know our clients to evoke their lifestyle, taste and preferences so that their home truly represents them. Thank you for considering Watson & Co, we look forward to assisting you.
