Roman and Williams Guild
Roman and Williams are known for their impossibly authentic designs for Ace Hotels, The Chicago Athletic Association, and Greydon House. Now you can bring a piece of their aesthetic home at the Roman and Williams Guild. The SoHo-based shop offers furniture and knick-knacks, including the pair's own Founding Collection, as well as vintage pieces. It's also home to a French café run by chef Marie-Aude Rose, a flower shop by Emily Thompson, and a bookstore/library stocked with editions from Phaidon. Unlike most establishments, everything from the door hardware and water fixtures to the plates and display vases is available for purchase, but you'll be equally rewarded by simply showing up, grabbing a spot on a couch, and flipping through an inspirational tome.
