Description
By: Stephen Alesch, Robin Standefer
For their 10th anniversary, the design studio Roman and Williams presents architectural design projects that blend the spirit of our collective history with a modernist edge.
This interior design coffee table book includes a foreword by Ben Stiller, a tactile leather cover, and 300 color images that showcase the firm’s devotion to beautiful, handcrafted objects.
Roman and Williams’s style honors craftsmanship, the use of natural materials, and the overlooked in unexpected ways. Their understated, glamorous sensibility is imparted in Manhattan’s Ace Hotel interiors and restaurant The Breslin, The Standard Hotel, with its iconic Boom Boom Room, and the Royalton lobby.
For such popular restaurants as The Dutch, the duo created environments with textured backdrops that reference a rich past with a contemporary sensibility. Their innovative work has captured the attention of firms such as Facebook—they recently completed its campus food hall—and their residences for celebrities such as Ben Stiller and Gwyneth Paltrow are equally imaginative.
This inspiring interior decor book surveys the firm’s prestige projects, presented with Alesch’s architectural hand drawings and sketches and detailed views. Also included is their loft and Montauk home, which serve as design laboratories, and a collection of furnishings and fixtures.
