Fox-Nahem Associates is a small, hands-on organization that cares about its clients. Many clients return for subsequent projects once we use judgment to preserve their privacy. Joe Nahem’s brilliant eye is revealed in new ways with each job. His design signature is his ability to delve deep into his clients’ minds, realizing their ideas, desires, and individual tastes, right from the first contact. The end result is a house for active families that is luxuriously comfortable, stylish, and livable: places that reflect the people who live there.

Joe and his late business partner, Tom Fox, were born and raised in New York City and founded Fox-Nahem Associates n their early twenties. After three decades of expertise, Joe and his dedicated team have established a network of loyal partners that assist them in bringing their creative designs, which are unique to each project, to reality. He curates rare vintage artifacts and collaborates with artists, craftspeople, and artisans from all over the world, changing with the times without succumbing to trends. Hand-loomed fabrics from Switzerland, handmade woven rugs from South Africa, and wonderfully constructed metal furniture from Brooklyn have all been commissioned.
Fox-Nahem has been included in a number of top design lists, including the AD 100, Elle Decor A-List-Top 25, New York Magazine’s Top 100, New York Spaces Top 50 Designers, and Luxe Magazine’s Gold List, in addition to features in most major design journals and several books on interiors.

Working closely with their clients who had owned this traditional, south of the highway house since the early 1990’s, Fox-Nahem Associates completely repurposed the space for their current lives as empty nesters. What had been intended as a refresh quickly morphed into a rebuild, so that an inadequate Family Room, a too-tight Master Suite and outdated Kitchen were re-imagined for their needs today.
A young, dynamic family with a significant contemporary art collection and very traditional furniture, approached FN to update the interiors of their expansive, classic Greenwich home to more accurately reflect their current tastes. No corner of this 10,000 square foot home was left untouched. Seamlessly combining refined vintage pieces, bespoke designs, and commissioned artisan pieces Fox-Nahem Associates deftly created a highly personal environment characterized by elegance, timelessness and a dash of whimsy. In the end, Fox-Nahem Associates struck a harmonious balance between art and interiors.
For a NYC full-floor apartment owned by a second-time client, FN took a very “vanilla” undistinguished space and enhanced it by adding layers of architectural and finish detail. Plaster wall finishes, fluted walnut paneling, and new bathrooms were complemented by custom-designed and found vintage pieces, eliminating whatever generic, spec-apartment quality was originally there.
