Clean and simple design coupled with an embrace of
color, beautifully crafted millwork, and environmentally
friendly materials are hallmarks of the work of Campion
Platt. Every project is firmly rooted in the belief that
handcrafting a home of one's own should be a pleasure,
and that an individualized, intensely personal interior
can be achieved on any budget when an honest
conversation is opened with a designer, or yourself,
about what is most important in a home, and that this
process will yield achievable, comfortable results. To
that end, his firm creates spaces that are bespoke on
many levels--each residence and all of its furnishings
are literally made to order. This lavish color
presentation of over 200 images showcases the results of
this unique approach in eighteen projects that range in
size and location from demure city pied-a-terres to chic
lofts and grand country estates. Conversational,
engaging commentary and original sketches from the
designer's portfolio reveal his creative process,
explain the inspiration from which each space's theme is
derived, disclose his most valuable tips, and explain
how his experience has informed the creation of his own
custom furniture, fabric, and carpet lines. ''I
discovered that Campion was almost obsessively concerned
with fabrics and finishes, which resulted in a very
visually rich environment. '' --Jay McInerney |
