Sam Robin Email & Phone Number

Those who are familiar with Sam Robin’s design prowess understand that she comes by it naturally, but the extent to which it is alive in her may surprise even those who are close to her. “If I was your babysitter when I was young, you’d come home and the entire house would be redecorated!” she recalls. “I was the only babysitter in Chicago who would have the kids saying, ‘Can we go to bed now?’ in order to avoid moving furniture!Sam opened her eponymous firm in Chicago in 1972. Robin came to Miami in 1979 when she was hired to design the interior of a 707 aircraft. “I came here for a month and a half, and a year and a half later, we were still designing the project,” she remarks. “Since I left Chicago in February during an ice storm, there was something about Miami that enticed me to stay—namely the weather!”After designing aircraft interiors for a string of well known clients, including Sheik Mohammed of Dubai, and Harry and Leona Helmsley, she was tapped by Don Johnson, who was filming the television series Miami Vice at the time, to design his office and residence in Miami, and his Aspen and Beverly Hills residences (with wife Melanie Griffith).“Designing Johnson’s homes was a big break for me because I wanted to return to residential design,” says Robin. “That said; I still consider designing the aircraft interiors to be my most transformative experience.”Robin, who has been featured on HGTV, continues to design residential projects as well as some choice commercial spaces, such as the Astor Hotel in South Beach, 900 Biscayne Bay, Capri Marina Grande and the revamping of Delano Hotel.Though Robin draws her inspiration from an incredible bank of knowledge, including an immense catalog of photos she’s taken of things that have inspired her through the years, and extensive travels (she confesses to a love affair with Italy), she is glad to call Miami home. “I’ve had the opportunity to grow here,” she says, “and to watch Miami become an international city.”
