4 PM LLC is a collaborative venture born of a shared passion for modern design
and driven by a strong commitment to personal integrity and the pursuit of excellence. 4 PM was created in January 2006 as a platform for combining the curatorial and design talents of its principals, Larry Weinberg, formerly of Lin-Weinberg Gallery, and Joan and Jayne Michaels of 2 Michaels Design.
For its principals and its clients, 4 PM offers an opportunity to sample the aesthetic and intellectual delights of vintage modern designs and to explore ways of recasting those designs in the creation of utterly fresh, clean, and sophisticated interiors. In selecting individual objects, building collections, and creating interior schemes, the 4 PM team blends connoisseurship, scholarship, and aesthetic vision with practical design skills and a deep understanding of the interactive nature of relationships with clients.

Larry Weinberg is a graduate of Amherst College and an alumnus of the Hagley Program in the History of Technology, University of Delaware. He has studied and worked at numerous museums, including Historic Deerfield, Strawbery Banke, and the Brooklyn Museum. In 1994, he co-founded the Lin-Weinberg Gallery, which became one of New York
City’s premiere showcases of vintage modernist furnishings.
Larry’s responsibilities at Lin-Weinberg included inventory
acquisition, research, and the planning and execution of special exhibitions and installations. Lin-Weinberg participated annually in
Sanford Smith’s Modernism show, and it hosted a number of design exhibitions, notably the blockbuster 1997 show entitled “Edward Wormley: The Other Face of Modernism.”
Larry has recently been working as a private curator of modern
design, and is preparing a catalog documenting Lin-Weinberg’s collection
of 1940’s American organic design furniture.
Joan and Jayne Michaels founded their New York City-based interior design firm, 2Michaels Design, in 2001, after training and working separately for almost a decade. Their spare, yet luxurious design sense began in Palm Springs, California, where they grew up, and developed in Milan, Italy, where they were exposed to such mid-century geniuses as Franco Albini, Gio Ponti, and Carlo Mollino. It has continued to evolve in their studies at Parsons and F.I.T., and in their New York practice. 2 Michaels and its principals have designed both residential and commercial spaces, ranging from downtown lofts to midtown offices to Park Avenue co-ops. All of their work features the use of vintage furnishings, which they avidly seek out, and which they believe impart a sense of character and individuality.
Current projects include a house in California, an apartment in the
West Village, and a 4,000 square foot loft in Tribeca. A recently completed penthouse on Park Avenue was featured in the September issue of Interior Design Magazine.
