Today's NY Times Styles section includes a in depth reveal into the ever evolving and trendsetting design firm of Roman & Williams. Husband & wife Stephen Alesch and Robin Standefer, founded their business (named in honor of their maternal grandfathers) following a successful partnership of crafting set designs for various movies throughout the 1990s.
The Roman & Williams lengthy work portfolio spans a spectrum of design projects, residential (clients include Ben Stiller & Gwyneth Paltrow) to commercial (the Standard Hotel, the Dutch, and more), both stateside and abroad. In 2011, Architectural Digest named Roman & Williams to their list of Innovators, plus more recent news highlights the couple's custom line of bath fixtures & tile for Waterworks, and their first book, Roman & Williams Buildings and Interiors: Things We Made, published for the 10 year anniversary of establishing their interior design firm.
