Fisher Weisman Brugioni is an interior design company founded in 2000 by Andrew Fisher and Jeffry Weisman, with Bryn Brugioni joining as a partner in 2019. The firm has offices in San Francisco, California, and San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.

Overview

[edit]

The company was initially established as Fisher Weisman in 1999 by Andrew Fisher and Jeffry Weisman, who are partners in both their personal and professional lives.[1] In 2019, Bryn Brugioni, who had worked as Weisman's design assistant for 10 years, joined as a partner, and the firm was renamed Fisher Weisman Brugioni.[2]

Fisher studied metal arts, drawing, and sculpture at the California College of the Arts.[3] His background includes designing interiors with John Hallock and creating installations with Tony Duquette.[3][4] Weisman holds a design degree and an MBA from Stanford University.[3] He began his career designing corporate interiors at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and Gensler before founding his own practice.[4]

The partners' designs were featured in a book they published in 2013, Artful Decoration: Interiors By Fisher Weisman(The Monacelli Press). Margaret Russell wrote the foreword for their book.[4]

Brugioni worked for Fisher Weisman for a decade before starting her own venture. After collaborating on a client project, she became a partner and the firm's San Francisco-based principal and office manager.[2][5]

One of the partners' first design project is their 18th-century home in San Miguel de Allende, which they call Casa Acanto, after acanthus leaves which they used to design the place.[6] Fisher and Weisman were subsequently inspired to create a line of handcrafted furniture, lighting, and accessorie, which they also named Casa Acanto.[7] Their furniture line were sold Sollano 16, a boutique, in San Miguel starting in 2013, and to showrooms throughout the U.S. staring in 2016.[7] Weisman also licenses product designs to manufacturers including Michael Taylor Designs, the Wicker Works, and Boyd Lighting.[8] Weisman's collaboration with Michael Taylor spans approximately 30 years as of 2024.[9]

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the partners acquired a building in Polanco, in Mexico, as their new home and office.[10]
