Pure Custom Having It Your Way, Exactly Your Way.
In the made-to-measure world of luxury interior design, one size definitely does not fit all.
The artistry of custom-made furnishings and fittings is found in the combination of the
creativity of the designer and the workmanship of the craftsman. Nowhere else can you fully
express the individuality of your clients than through a design element tailored explicitly
to their taste.
Clients today are inundated with design – from internet to television to magazines – and feel
empowered and emboldened by the choices. But it is only through the expertise and careful eye
of a seasoned professional that their ideas can be realized. With the custom process you are
limited only by your imagination.

Elegance Beauty & Luxe: The Three Tenets of Design According to Charlotte Moss.
Beauty is what interior design is all about. Whether you are about less or about more,
the theme is refinement. Luxe design doesn’t have to be over-the-top, it can be the single,
well chosen item. Or it can be full-on glamour with rich layering – embroidery, monogramming,
jewel-tones, velvet, feathers, volume and detail. Your evening dress may lead the way, but
your drawing room will not be far behind. Charlotte Moss signed copies of her books at the reception.

Dressed for Success: The Art of Tailor-Made Drapery and Bedding
with Karen Gilman of Finelines and Eliot Wright of Eliot Wright Workroom.
Fabrics such as cashmere, linen, silk and wool are naturals for couture clothing,
but today they work just as well for couture draperies and bedding. In fashioning
a wardrobe for the home, designers rely on the expertise and skill of the to-the-trade
soft furnishings workroom. The art of the workroom is in the creation of appropriate
and well constructed finished product suited to the designer's vision whether it's
traditional or contemporary window and bed designs.
