Interview with Campion Platt Designer, Interviews
|
Campion Platt is named one of the worlds top 100 architects and interior designers by Architectural Digest. His designs range from private residences and boutique hotels to lines of furniture, lighting, textile and rug collections. They all embody luxury, innovation and an eco-friendly consciousness. His holistic approach creates highly personalized spaces making him a favorite of Al Pacino, Meg Ryan, Roger Waters, Conan O’Brien, Jay McInerney. I like Campion’s interiors best when he combines soulful modernism with antiques as in the Captain’s House featured in his new book “Made to Order”.
