Forbes-Ergas Named Best Interior Designer in Manhattan: Celebrating Our 2023 and 2025 Wins
Forbes-Ergas Design Associates is proud to have been named Best Interior Designer in Manhattan in the 2023 Best of the City awards—and honored again with a win in 2025.
Organized by Schneps Media, the competition invites the public to nominate and vote for their favorite Manhattan businesses. Our 2023 award recognized Forbes-Ergas in the Home & Garden section. Being selected by voters makes this recognition especially meaningful, and we are grateful to everyone who supported our firm.
Designing the Spaces Residents Share
Our work focuses on the common spaces that shape everyday life in New York City’s cooperative, condominium, and rental buildings. From lobbies and hallways to elevator cabs, mailrooms, package storage, and amenity spaces, we help buildings create welcoming interiors that balance appearance with practical needs.
A successful renovation needs to do more than photograph well. It should stand up to daily use, complement the building’s architecture, and reflect the priorities of the people who live there. We bring that perspective to every project, whether it involves a modest refresh or a comprehensive transformation.
A Collaborative Approach
Working with boards, managing agents, and residents means understanding different priorities and bringing them together in a cohesive design. Our process considers materials, lighting, furnishings, maintenance, and budget as connected decisions.
We believe thoughtful planning and clear communication are as essential as the finished design. These principles guide our work from the earliest conversations through construction and installation.
Thank You for Your Support
To our clients, colleagues, project partners, and everyone who nominated and voted for Forbes-Ergas: thank you. Winning in 2023 and again in 2025 is an honor, and we look forward to continuing to serve New York City’s residential communities.
