Post Company (Character Studies)

An immersion into Post Company’s seductive, soothing, and convivial contemporary interiors

Over more than a decade, the award-winning multidisciplinary firm Post Company has redefined hospitality with interiors that feel effortlessly lived-in, deeply crafted, and illuminated by a signature warmth. This beautifully illustrated monograph features sixteen remarkable projects that reveals the full breadth of the studio’s work: best-in-class boutique hotels, impossibly elegant restaurants, and, more recently, spectacular private homes. Together, the projects reveal that Post Company approaches every room with the same devotion to nuanced detail, material integrity, and timeless style.

Projects include Raf’s, a Manhattan restaurant evoking a European café with tiled floors, plush banquettes, a lamplit bar, frescoed ceilings, and smoked mirrors – one of the most beautiful rooms in New York, and emblematic of the studio’s ability to bridge classic sensibility with contemporary life. Inness, a boutique hotel and members club in the Hudson Valley, unfolds in a hushed palette of natural woods, textured fabrics, and Shaker-inspired forms. Public spaces glow with antique farm tables, rush-seat ladder chairs, and walls painted in enveloping shades of ocher and olive.

It is no surprise that guests of Post Company’s public spaces, captivated by the atmosphere, have increasingly commissioned the firm to design their own residences. These homes appear in the book, demonstrating how the studio translates its hospitality principles of graciousness, comfort, and craftsmanship into intimate personal spaces.

Filled with gorgeous, transporting photography of each project, Post Company: Character Studies proves that what makes a room welcoming, chic, and memorable transcends typology and resides instead in the thoughtful, human-centered design that defines Post Company’s work.
