What Tomas Frenes Design does

Tomas Frenes Design Studio (TFDS) is a boutique, founder-owned interior design and custom furniture firm founded in 2000 and headquartered in Miami, with additional offices in New York, Atlanta, and London. The firm provides interior and exterior design consulting, project management, and product design/creative direction services, organized around three primary verticals: luxury residential, hospitality, and retail. Notable enterprise clients include the Beverly Hills Hilton, Ritz Carlton Philadelphia, and The St. Regis Bal Harbour, along with luxury retail boutiques for International Cosmetics & Perfumes (the North American distributor of the CREED fragrance brand). The firm also operates an e-commerce shop selling custom-designed furniture directly to consumers.

The firm is led by its founder, Tomas Frenes, who brings more than 20 years of industry experience, including prior senior leadership at Versace as Assistant General Director. The company has no disclosed external funding, no institutional investors, and is not listed; it operates as an independent, owner-operated design studio. Revenue is generated primarily through project-based professional services fees for design consulting and project management, with ancillary revenue from one-time license/creative direction work and direct furniture sales through the e-commerce shop. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

The firm does not employ proprietary technology platforms, APIs, or software products; its core capability is human-led design and craftsmanship. Distribution is direct-to-client through enterprise sales targeting luxury hospitality groups and affluent residential customers, supplemented by a direct-to-consumer e-commerce channel. The company's work has been featured in major design publications such as Interior Design Magazine, Architectural Digest, Hospitality Design, Ocean Drive, and on HGTV, which provides reputational reach in the luxury segment.

Broad incumbents

• Rockwell Group: New York-based cross-disciplinary design firm with a strong hospitality and luxury interior practice. Competes for the same upscale hotel and lifestyle-driven residential briefs as TFDS, but at significantly larger scale and broader service scope.
• Gensler: Global architecture and design firm with a substantial hospitality and luxury interiors practice. Competes for premium hotel and luxury residential work at the portfolio level, though typically against TFDS only when projects scale beyond boutique studios.
• Hirsch Bedner Associates (HBA): Large specialty hospitality interior design firm with deep relationships across global luxury hotel flags including Ritz-Carlton and St. Regis — overlapping directly with TFDS's marquee client roster. Operates at greater scale but competes for the same property-level design RFPs.
