Harry Daniell's familiarity and knowledge for design began at a young age, as his family was always redecorating a room in their home. "The element of an ever changing environment as I grew up became a part of the norm, always surrounding me with a sense of change and beauty. Organically, I just involved myself in the process and the decision making. Shortly thereafter, I found myself making many of the suggestions on what needed to be done." |
| After graduating from James Madison University, his initial career in finance provided him with opportunities to travel internationally. During his travels, he was approached by a modeling agency, taking his career in an entirely different direction. Through Harry's initial career and modeling, Harry was given the opportunity to further explore the world through architecture, art history and decoration. "I found myself always seeking architecture and museums as I traveled around. I found beauty in the locations of photo shoots, and then contrasted that natural beauty with the manmade architecture and museum exhibits. It kept me grounded." It is through those experiences that Harry developed his love and knowledge for the decorative arts and furniture. |
| During the early course of his career, Harry realized he was onto something, "as design came naturally and clients were happy with the resulting product." |
| Self-taught and in demand, Harry Daniell achieved yet another great honor when he was asked to design the Fifth Avenue windows for Michael C. Fina. Harry is the first designer to design for the company as an external designer. He has appeared on NBC, CBS and other networks, to discuss and educate viewers on design and his aesthetic. |
