74 C ertain names in the design world evoke a reverence — Sister Parish and Albert Hadley, for example. After 16 years at Parish- Hadley Design, David Kleinberg — who was Mrs. Parish's right hand — founded David Kleinberg Design Associates. Now he's quite the revered name himself. His New York firm, known for supremely sophisticated interior design and architectural renovation, employs a team of 25, and his work appears regularly in major shelter magazines. He was inducted into Interior Design magazine's Hall of Fame and appears on the Elle Decor A List. Most recent acquisition.
