For his latest chapter, the British designer has turned his exquisitely trained eye on the world of interiors with La Carlière, a line of one-of-a-kind pillows named for the 16th-century estate in Normandy that he shares with husband Rambert Rigaud. We caught up with the inimitably stylish Copping to find out what else garners his seal of approval.
