‘Room’, a new book published by Phaidon, looks at contemporary interior design across the world. It presents 100 emerging designers, selected by a panel of ten established interior design critics, practitioners and curators. The projects ranges from retail concept stores, dining spaces, stage design and art installations, to hotels and houses. Arranged alphabetically by designer, it features over 700 photographs, renders and drawings. Each critic has written on each of the designs they have nominated. The book also includes biographies of all interior designers and curators on the panel, including co-founder of Apartamento Magazine, Nacho Alegre, and editor-in-chief of Wallpaper* magazine, Tony Chambers.
