For thirty-eight years, Joseph Jaroff has led the design, fabrication, installation and coordination of custom architectural glass and metal for the construction, architecture, interior design and art communities.
Joe has taken what was at one time his passion and morphed it into a thriving business with a reputation held only by a select few of NYs top-tier design companies. This reputation along with his completed portfolio combine to tell a story of leadership, expertise, preparedness and artistic vision.
Joe received a BFA in Metalwork and Sculpture from RIT’s prestigious School for American Craft and studied Art History at Harvard University. During the time he was a student, Joe received several grants for public art projects including those from the National Endowment for the Arts and New York State Council for the Arts.
After graduating, Joe moved to New York City to pursue an art career, supplementing his income with architectural metal and glass design and fabrication work for contractors and commissioned projects. This early work led Joe to the realization that he could fill an unrecognized need within the building and arts community through blending his skill sets of designer, fabricator, coordinator and project orchestrator.
Joe has developed and realized design solutions for projects by architects such as Tony Chi, Herzog & De Meuron, Richard Gluckmann, Peter Marino, Toshiko Mori, Polshek Partnership Architects, Ennead Architects, S.O.M., Phillipe Stark, Adam Tihany, Annabelle Selldorf, Andrew Berman and The Rockwell Group among many others.
Fashion Clients include showrooms and flagship locations for Armani, Issey Miyake, Alexander McQueen, Ralph Lauren, Donna Karan, Stella McCartney, Barneys, Louis Vuitton, Van Cleef & Arpels, YSL and Chanel.
Fine dining clientele have seen his work at Asiate, Le Cirque, The Sea Grill, 11 Madison Avenue, Bruno’s Wine Club and the Hudson Hotel Bar. Cultural clients include Jazz at Lincoln Center, MOMA PS1 and New York City Center.
In addition to such notable public spaces as the September 11th Memorial for the City of Hoboken and Waterline Square in New York City, some of the work Joe is most proud of has been in more private settings; creating spaces for students to inspire education at The Ross School in East Hampton and custom design for private residences across the United States.
