After attending the Politecnico di Milano, Tihany apprenticed in renowned design firms in Italy. In 1978, he established his own multidisciplinary New York studio. The practice began specializing in restaurant design with the creation of La Coupole, the first grand cafe in New York City in 1981. In 1987, Tihany became a co-owner in Remi restaurants, which together with his partners, he continued to own and operate for the following 25 years. Thank was one of the first designers to collaborate with celebrity chefs creating signature restaurants for culinary stars such as Thomas Keller, Daniel Boulud, Jean Georges Vongerichten, Charlie Palmer, Heston Blumenthal, Paul Bocuse, and Wolfgang Puck.
