인테리어 디자이너의 방은 어떻게 생겼을까?
디자이너 72인의 가장 사적인 ‘취향의 기록’

날카로운 감각으로 고객의 라이프스타일에 맞춰 근사한 공간을 제안하는 인테리어 디자이너들. 그들이 모든 긴장을 내려놓고 돌아가는 ‘자기만의 방’은 어떤 모습일까?
『ROOM(룸)』은 일본의 세계적인 설계 그룹 ‘니켄 스페이스 디자인’의 디자이너들이 선배들의 집 72곳을 직접 방문해, 구석구석 실측하고 이를 그려 낸 특별한 집들이의 기록이다. 이 책의 왼쪽 페이지에는 집 주인인 디자이너에게 집의 의미를 묻는 인터뷰를 담았고, 오른쪽 페이지에는 줄자로 직접 재어 그린 정밀한 평면도와 현장의 에피소드를 스케치로 펼쳐 보인다.
독자들은 이 책을 통해 정형화된 공간이 주인의 취향에 따라 얼마나 다채로운 색깔로 변주될 수 있는지 확인할 수 있다. 남의 집 구경을 좋아하는 이들에게는 짜릿한 관찰의 재미를, 인테리어 디자이너의 안목을 빌려 나만의 공간을 꾸미고 싶은 이들에게는 유용한 힌트를 선사할 것이다.
