AD PRO Hears…

…Boston-based interior designer Frank Roop has launched The Textilium Project, a source for designer-culled fabric schemes using only all-natural fibers and inspired by landscapes. It’s soft goods made simple: Within each of the platform’s 90-some Swatch Boxes, shoppers receive eight fabric samples (many only available to the trade) specified for window treatments, wall coverings, seating, and pillows. Once set on a scheme, the platform offers a virtual workroom for connecting shoppers with fabricators.

The gallery’s organic-shaped artworks—crafted from bronze and stainless, colored, or Corten steel—can be personalized in size and finish before being sent off in the studio’s in-house, white-glove delivery service.
