McAlpine
McAlpine Interiors is the partnership of Bobby McAlpine, Ray Booth and Susan Ferrier. Their interiors firm, in existence since 1997, attracts clients from across the United States with designs for both the public and private sectors including residences, restaurants and a chapel. They maintain offices in Atlanta, Nashville and New York. The driving concept of the firm is to create timeless, emotionally evocative interiors that reflect the vision and needs of their clients. The firm’s founder, Bobby McAlpine, is known for his acclaimed work both in the architectural and interiors field and follows in his work the pursuit to create “the inheritable house.” It is this approach which has led the firm to regional, national and internationally recognized work in publications such as Architectural Digest, Southern Accents, House Beautiful, Veranda, House and Garden, Metropolitan Home, Traditional Home and British House and Garden. Having always produced custom furniture, McAlpine debuted his own furniture line, McAlpine Home, in 2002 with upholstered pieces by Lee Industries in North Carolina and English-made case goods from MacRae in Atlanta. In his best-selling book from Rizzoli International, McAlpine speaks poignantly from his head and heart about everyone’s personal search for home. Armed with the perspective of a southerner and an arsenal of architectural experience, he reveals his thoughts on grace, the human condition, tenderness of place and what we know to be true in our lives, all based on his body of work created over the last three decades.

Michael Del Piero Good Design
Michael Del Piero founded Michael Del Piero Good Design in 2007 based on three simple principals: Strive for balance. Create interiors as current as they are enduring, as sophisticated as they are approachable, and as unusual as they are beautiful. And take care of clients as if they are royalty, serving their needs and lifestyles above all else.

A curious soul, a world traveler, and one of the earliest vendors on 1st Dibs, Del Piero is known for her accomplished eye and uncommon knack for a serene and simple mix that bridges generations of style. Her distinct aesthetic fuses rough with luxurious and ancient with modern. 

Her fresh approach to "the mix" has garnered accolades from a worldwide and most discerning clientele.  Recognized by industry leaders, Michael has been touted by Metropolitan Home as a tastemaker, The New York Times as a style maven and in 2009 was honored with the distinguished "Ones to Watch" award presented by the Chicago Design Community.

Travelogue: Veni, vidi, vici

We came. We saw. We cultured.In six days, we walked more than 70 miles, visited more than a dozen showrooms, sipped countless demi cups of espresso, and experienced more moments of pure inspiration than we could have ever imagined. The imprint of Salone will stay with us for many seasons to comeuntil the next WRJ field trip be it to Paris or Pocatello. En Italia, we learned that we learn best as a collective. The more eyes, the more insight. . . .

Travelogue: Acculturation

When designers travel, they spot things: the steely purple on the walls of an enchanting brunch spot; the dry-stack retaining wall off the autostrade; turquoise window frames decorating a butter-yellow casa; linen borders on bath towels and cashmere lining in leather boots; metal seahorses floating inside a Moncler window. Milan breathes inspiration. Whether touring the immaculate factory of Loro Piana to connecting espresso dots around the Duomo, the WRJ designers are on empirical overdrive as . . .
