The designer has accumulated stacks of sketchbooks. Four decades’ worth, each filled with doodles, whims, observations, and inspirations that Roger conjures into magical interiors and creations.

Crescendoes of color.

A renaissance in wallcovering.
“When I’m just wanting to think, but not think about anything in particular, I often start a drawing. The colors and patterns are like a jazz improvisation,” Roger explains.
From such improvisations, Roger creates entire symphonies of luxury. “Balancing a room is like balancing a piece of music.”

Composing at a grand scale.
He might be composing at mega-scale — he’s delivered a series of opulent Wynn Resorts around the world. Or he might be arranging notes at the level of a tabletop. Every single element of a Roger Thomas project goes through meticulous self-scrutiny: the imposing chandelier overhead, the inlaid glass in the marble underfoot, the accessories atop the antique consoles spotted at a Paris auction years before.

Ensembles of forms.
