Phorrest and Phinn is a Pittsburgh-based creative interiors studio specializing in locally sourced, low-waste solutions that are enduring yet elegant and deeply connected to place. To give a home of any size, age, or type the distinctive look of an established home, we integrate reclaimed materials, carefully curated vintage finds and antiques, as well as products from local artists and makers into our design solutions. We are also interested in working with mission-based organizations that provide varying levels of housing support or want to refine their working space.

By honoring and elevating what already exists and thoughtfully layering in new life and functionality, our designs balance what’s best for our clients, what’s good for our community, and what is ultimately right for our planet.

The Pittsburgh area has a rich and storied history and boasts generations of talented artists, visionaries, and industry leaders. With all of that comes great treasure, just waiting to be discovered to give any space timeless style for a lifetime. Let us help you find it.
