A & R welcomes Sam Ciardi as a new designer !
After graduating from Parsons School of Design in 1992, Sam Ciardi, immediately began his dual career as both an independant interior and fashion designer. During this time, Sam enthusiastically designed many Manhattan penthouses and Brooklyn brownstones, while simultaneously creating new and innovative fashion brands. Sam spent the next five years exclusively designing fashion and was invited by Ashley and Mary Kate Olsen to join their company Dualstar Entertainment in Los Angeles, CA. At Dualstar, Sam served as Executive Design Director for the infamous mary-kateandashley brand, where he was responsible for creating the vision for the Olsen's fashion and home empires.
Sam finally decided to take a well deserved break from the insanity of the fashion industry and settle back home in Morris County, NJ. He is proud to call A & R Interiors his new design home where he can concentrate exclusively on his passion for interior design. He is excited to bring vast knowledge and experience to every room he designs. His uniquely, eclectic style, influenced by fashion and current market trends, is at the same time, sophisticated and timeless.
