Rafael Kalichstein and Joshua Rose of FORM Interior Design shared with us a little about the folks who helped them along the way and now they share what they've been up to recently and about one of the craziest projects they've ever worked on.
GDG: What are a few things you’re busy with now?
RK+JR: We are always busy! Currently, we're working to develop two licensing agreements with two absolutely wonderful designers. One will be for lighting and the other for rugs. It's all very hush-hush at the moment, but trust me, we will be loud about it at the right time! We are very excited about all of those things. We are also in the process of developing a television show, but we can't indulge yet!

All of this is, of course, separate from our full load of residential and commercial projects. We are particularly looking forward to a project in Greenwich, CT. It's a beautiful traditional Colonial on about nine spectacular acres--it's going to be tremendous fun!
GDG: What is the craziest project you've ever worked on?
RK+JR: Recently, one of our clients hired a contractor who stole all of their interior doors as well as their electrical panel. That was pretty wild!

From a design perspective, our current Newport Beach project fits the 'crazy project' bill. Our client has a wonderful sense of adventure and says 'yes' to things that many people would not even entertain. I won't give away too many secrets just yet because the project isn't done, but his is the only house in CA with fingerprinted door handles! There is a stunning 1960's Barovier and Toso Murano chandelier that we brought in from Florence and we've done some spectacular custom work there—and his house has huge custom knockers!

GDG: Can you share a fun fact that most people don't know about you?
RK+JR: We are a little bit rogue! Beyond that, we believe that spaces speak. In order for a design to be successful, it is imperative that a designer listen to what it's saying. Oh, and we collect great socks. And underwear!
