Join Kit Kemp, co-founder of Firmdale Hotels and Kit Kemp Design
Studio, for a special evening in conversation with broadcaster and
journalist Emma Barnett: The future is bright (and
colourful).
Taking place at Ham Yard Hotel, the evening offers a glimpse
into more than four decades of creativity and Kit’s remarkable
career in design. Kit will share insights into her current
collaborations and collections, alongside an exclusive look at what
lies ahead - from the opening of a new Firmdale hotel near The
British Museum in 2027 to a host of exciting new creative
projects.
Together, Kit and Emma will explore the thinking behind some of
Kit’s most celebrated interiors, from her commissioning of unique
pieces by artists and makers to her fearless use of colour, pattern
and unexpected combinations. They will discuss her belief in
individuality over trends, and the distinctive design language that
has inspired designers and hotels around the world.
