Made to Order

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- -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
