Mark Thomas arrived in New York in 1997 after growing up in England surrounded by both decorating and antiques. He opened an antique store in Chelsea selling European antique furniture and accessories. After 7 years, Mark took the antique store to New Jersey where the demand for design started to play a large part in the business. The store again moved but this time under the umberella of a large, high end furniture retail company where he soon became director of design. After numerous sucessful designer showhouses and many high end private clients Mark now enjoys a place amongst some of the more recognisable designers in the Metropolitan area. Mark now enjoys a wonderful relationship with Sothebys international Realty as the presenter of their YouTube Channel.
