Even if you mainly know Thom Filicia from his wonderful presence on TV, you probably realize he is—first and foremost—a powerhouse in the world of design. He has written best-selling books on the subject and enhanced interiors far and wide with his work, such as offerings from Thom Filicia Home. You can even now find them showcased at his own showroom, Sedgwick & Brattle.
Recently, Filicia stopped by Design Hardware in Los Angeles to celebrate the launch of his latest creative pursuit. It’s a collaboration with Accurate Lock & Hardware called Thom Filicia for Accurate. This extraordinary selection of levers, knobs, pulls and more is sure to elevate any space. And there’s nothing quite like hearing Filicia talk about it—especially with his beloved pup along for the ride.
When Thom Filicia Met Accurate
Accurate has multiple reasons to celebrate these days. It is also marking its fiftieth anniversary as a company that has been both family-operated and making products in the USA. In fact, Accurate even helped give the city of Stamford, Connecticut its nickname as “The Lock City.”
Filicia stepped on stage with Paul Hagen of aspire design and home to dig into the creative process behind creating these unique pieces of jewelry for the home. Watch him discuss how the magic happened—including the unique inspirations behind each of the Thom Filicia for Accurate collections. He also tackles intriguing questions such as:
- Is creating hardware that looks good in multiple finishes like designing a dress that looks good in every color?
- How much should the various pieces of a hardware collection look like each other?
- And what does quality sound like?
