Sam Chermayeff grew up in new york in the 80’s and 90’s, steeped in modernist design culture, the son of preeminent graphic designer Ivan Chermayeff, and grandson of the architect Serge Chermayeff.
Sam set out to find his own voice as a designer first in Texas, where he studied architecture at the university of Texas, Austin, before moving to Tokyo to work at the architecture practice SANAA, where he stayed for five years, and where he met his business partner Johannah Meyers Groburgher, with whom he now practices in Berlin.
"The success of all interiors are specifics – specific wobbles, specific things in the way, specific dirt behind the ears of a house […] It’s wildly inefficient way of designing […] and it can drive people crazy, but the notion that you can provide this joyous instability for people – I want to offer that to everyone." - SC
