MAC II was founded in 1967 by Mica Ertegun and the late Chessy Rayner. After 40 years MAC II is widely considered one of today's preeminent firms in the field. Their design approach combines simple fabrics and sparse yet substantially sized furniture, carefully edited with a flash of glamour. MAC II insists on several high-quality antiques in each room, though not everything has to be of the utmost provenance. This translates to serene, uncluttered yet opulent environments highly admired by clients and peers. The firm has followed this model of mixing modern and traditional elements for over 40 years, and it continues to serve them well. Clients are predominantly of the very well-established, including many top echelon business people and commercial enterprises including Bill Blass, Warner Communications, Safra National Bank, Keith Richards, Henry Kravis, Mr. and Mrs. Michael Eisner, Mr. and Mrs. James Buffett, Mr. and Mrs. William Acquavella, and Princess Firyal of Jordan, among others.
