Philpotts Interiors

Our firm began in the 1960s by infusing good design with island culture and creating a true sense of place for our residential and commercial clients. Our founding designer, Mary Philpotts McGrath, drew upon her island home's rich heritage, landscape and spirit. In doing so, she laid down the foundation of our firm.

Interior design is more than the making of a space. It is the result of an intimate collaboration between designer and client, working together to enhance environments through an imaginative blend of aesthetic and function. Rooted in Hawaii with a reach across U.S. mainland, and the Pacific, we are artisans of our craft.

We design hotel interiors that offer guests a break from their everyday, while ensuring every morning that they "know where they are waking up." Our cultural knowledge, sensitivity to landscape, and extensive local resources enable us to make a hotel authentically part of its region; and bring regional character into the hotel.

We began designing residential interiors in the 1960s - collaborating closely with local artists and craftsmen including the famed Hawaiian residential architect Vladimir Ossipoff - and the discipline remains at the very core of Philpotts today. Whilst our influence is rooted in Hawaii, we draw on cultures right across the world, expertly sourcing and procuring furnishings and dcor according to budget and style.

Commercial interiors are so often neglected, yet they have a profound effect on worker's productivity and well-being, as well as the company's brand. Our designs are constantly evolving to keep pace with the ever-changing way in which people work.
