What Thomas Pheasant Inc does

Thomas Pheasant Inc, operating as TMP, LLC, is a privately held interior design studio founded in 1983 by Thomas Pheasant and headquartered at 1029 33rd St NW in Washington, D.C. The firm provides custom interior design services for ultra-high-net-worth residential and commercial clients, with active project footprints across the United States (Washington D.C., New York, Connecticut, Virginia, California), Europe (notably Paris), and Asia. Notable engagements include an eight-year collaboration on Blair House — the President's Guest House on Pennsylvania Avenue — and the redecoration of the Benjamin Franklin State Dining Room at the U.S. State Department, the latter earning the 2025 John Russell Pope Award.

The studio operates through a diversified revenue model combining professional design fees, licensed furniture collections, and royalty-bearing intellectual property. Revenue streams include (1) direct interior design services delivered by a 7-person team led by the founder, (2) licensing royalties from the Thomas Pheasant Collection for Baker, the Thomas Pheasant Collection for McGuire, and a bespoke collaboration with the Par Excellence collective of French craftsmen, (3) book royalties from Rizzoli and Phaidon titles including Simply Serene (2013), Interior Design Master Class (2016), and Living in Color (2021), (4) hardware sales through the Thomas Pheasant STUDIO limited-edition line and a Ben Soleimani rug collection, and (5) showroom presence via the Par Excellence flagship in New York City. Distribution of furniture products is achieved through partners' retail networks rather than owned channels.

The firm acquires new work through editorial coverage in Architectural Digest (domestic and international editions), Elle Decor, House Beautiful, Veranda, and dozens of foreign design publications; word-of-mouth referrals from elite clientele; and the founder's sustained inclusion on the Architectural Digest AD 100 list for 16 consecutive years. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The studio is independently owned, has no external investors, and shows no M&A activity or restructuring events.
