Design Thread

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 Thread Kit shares the inspiration behind her creative decisions: whether it's a house in 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.
