Roman and Williams Buildings and Interiors is a New York-based design studio focusing on interiors and related design services for hotels, restaurants, retail spaces, homes, and product design. The firm emphasizes blending historical references with contemporary sensibilities, seeking projects that balance spontaneity with rigor and refinement with rebellion, while prioritizing well-made, often custom-designed furniture and fixtures. Its work is characterized by a narrative approach and a sense of familiarity across varied environments, aiming to disrupt conventional hospitality norms through distinctive, context-driven spaces. Established in 2002 by Robin Standefer and Stephen Alesch, the studio has pursued notable commissions such as Ace Hotel New York and the Boom Boom Room at the Standard High Line, and has contributed to cultural projects like the redesign of The British Galleries at The Metropolitan Museum of Art; in 2021, a collaboration with Ian Schrager Company was announced to bring EDITION Hotels to Iceland. The firm maintains a presence in New York and operates a design guild and product offerings through Roman and Williams Guild, which expands on their furniture, lighting, and home accessories while emphasizing timeless design and craftsmanship.
