The new bespoke : couture-inspired rooms

'The New Bespoke: Couture-Inspired Rooms That Seamlessly Combine One-of-a-kind Objects with Hand-made Furniture' is a compelling first monograph on the work of Boston-based interior designer Frank Roop.

A mastermind of original colour palettes, Roop leaves his signature couture touch on each and every space that he creates.

The ingredients that go into his projects are truly unique: almost all of the furniture and furnishings he uses in his interiors are either vintage finds or custom-made pieces of his own design.

Roop began his design firm after a career in specialty menswear, where he acquired the principles of design that gave him a unique and unexpected basis for formulating and conceptualizing his interior design schemes.

For Roop, a room is not just a space to be inhabited: it is a garment to be worn, and an impeccably tailored garment at that.

Over 160 colour images by internationally renowned photographer Eric Roth are accompanied by Roop's personal and distinctive theories about colour, texture, shape, and the elements of design, making 'The New Bespoke' a vibrant, outspoken, and well-tailored book for anyone interested in interior design.
