Founder of Studio 6F, Chicago-based interior designer Gil Melott recently launched his new furniture line Gil Melott BESPOKE, made with earth- and jewel-toned fabrics and natural materials. Melott’s vision stems from his youthful experience in Central Texas, and role models—such as writer William Faulkner, designer Edward Wormley and even his uncle Foy—also inspired his work.
Known for blending disparate textures and periods to create a new, unique whole, Gil Melott of Chicago-based Studio 6F has just launched a capsule collection of urban-focused furniture and lighting.
