“There’s an amazing brilliance in nature’s patterns that I find intoxicating. No matter how two roses grow, the way they effortlessly sit next to each other is always breathtaking.”

About
Meet Philip Nimmo
Over the past three decades, Los Angeles-based Philip Nimmo has proven again and again that he’s a rare prodigy in the world of interior design and high-end products. His sought-after skills have captured the eyes of an impressive list of celebrities and dignitaries, from Sir Anthony Hopkins to Jaclyn Smith.
Nimmo attended the University of Southern California to study business management, but he transitioned to join the staff at the then-newly formed Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, where he studied under the legendary Horst Schulze. Nimmo quickly worked his way up to become the corporate director of banquets.
Eventually, Nimmo began working as an interior designer, and soon he was attracting big-name clients, such as singer-songwriter Randy Newman. It was Newman’s fireplace that sparked Nimmo’s product line. When Nimmo couldn’t find the right screen for Newman’s odd-shaped fireplace, Nimmo decided to create his own. But a happy accident led to the fire screen being made in the wrong size.
The Thomas Lavin showroom in West Hollywood offered to carry the extra screen — it sold instantly off the floor.
The showroom wanted more, and the Philip Nimmo line quickly grew to include representation at multiple showrooms across the country.
Soon, Nimmo was designing other fire screens and iron tools, and he began to expand his designs into other forms: sofas, cabinets, tables, lighting. The full line was born. Today, a staple in Nimmo’s furniture line is the Newman Sofa, originally custom-designed for the Newman household.
Take a look at Philip Nimmo’s product line.
About
“A result of that training was, although we may not consciously recognize that things are perfect, our subconscious knows it. All those small details add up and give our brains peace. Why does this room feel so good? There are so many dynamics we have to pay attention to that you can’t learn in school. The more I can surrender to my natural talent, the more I can feel it.”
