Founded in 2013, MGC is focused on creating unique spaces with a holistic approach prioritizing functionality, brand narrative, and customer experience. Our aesthetic is characterized by an economy of form and careful consideration for materiality and craftsmanship. Playful geometric elements and high-end custom lighting are hallmarks of our designs. Previous work has been featured in The New Yorker, The New York Times, Wallpaper*, and Interior Design, among others. Michael Groth co is currently based in Barcelona, Spain and taking on select projects globally.
