About the Design Collective Group, Jupiter, Florida

about design collective groupOur Passion Continues to Drive the Design,
& Our Design Continues to Drive the Passion.

Our interiors group was never strategically planned to be the business it is today. But there was once a dream some 15 years ago. A dream that started with one individual + the support of a very small group of dedicated interior design clients who were underserved + inadequately serviced, primarly in the South Florida "second home" resort residential marketplace.

Today, that interior design business has grown + continued to unfold in remarkable ways. Founded by our leader, Michael A. Thomas, FASID, CAPS, the Design Collective Group Inc. started as a small interiors practice in an even smaller suite in Jupiter, Florida. The only thing unique + special about the business was Michael's passion for all things effectively designed, well organized + methodically implemented.

It is Michael's passion that continues to drive the design direction of The Design Collective Group, Inc. even today.


And Today...Design Still Drives The Core Of The Business

design collective group office spaceDuring the next dozen years, Michael continued to grow the business adding design-oriented components under the DCG corporate umbrella. First came the Artefacts Collection, a retail showroom of individually selected furnishings, acccesories, art + antiquities to assist complete Michael's interiors that often featured his signature "Pacific-Rim" design style, a style the press once reported as "showcasing unique accents from Africa to Asia in a tasteful, classic American transitional, tropical style."

Next came The Cabinet Collective. With the interiors practice growing to include the full renovation + remodling of residential properties, adding cabinetry + storage solutions for the kitchen + bath was the next + natural step. By providing Clients with both custom + semi-custom cabinets, the Design Collective grew to be a "one-stop" showroom, including a design expo of counters, hardware and tiles.

Our latest addition to the DCG umbrella is The Design Experience, a multi-facted collection of unique products for home + workplaces. Searching the many building and design trade shows top and bottom Michael + his staff attend every year, they focus their attention on building relationships with vendors offering high style design, new technology + innovative design solutions.
