For over 20 years, Kit Kemp has been at the forefront of the international design community, with her signature style that mixes contemporary elements with antiques and junk-shop finds, luxurious fabrics with bespoke wallpapers and hand-finished detailing with collections of simple objects that create impact. In Design ThreadKit shares the inspiration behind her creative decisions: whether it'sa housein town, a Piede a Terre, hotel suite or beach bar, her unique design shines through. Kit considers every element of her interiors in detail and, as always, creates personal, handcrafted rooms by bending the rules and combining colour and wit.
Alongside the stunning images of room sets and detailed close-ups will be the inspiration behind Kit's work, her design collaborations, hotels as well as her private residences. Interiors are meant for living in, and the key is to create a space that is comfortable, beautiful and reflects who you really are.
Over the years Kit Kemp MBE has been forging an internationally-acclaimed reputation, not only for her unique hotel interiors as Founder and Creative Director of Firmdale Hotels but also as a successful textiles, fragrance and homewares designer, author and a highly-respected champion of British art, craft and sculpture. With eight award winning hotels in London and two in New York, Kit is celebrated for her individual and original approach to the way she transforms and arranges buildings, with a colourful and detailed storytelling in her design.
