Discover here everything about the iconic interior designer Kelly Hoppen.
With over 40 years’ experience at the forefront of the design industry, Kelly Hoppen is one of the most celebrated and sought after interior designers in the world.
Hoppen began her career at 16 when she was given the opportunity to design a family friend’s kitchen. So, that was what kick-started her iconic career. Also, Kelly’s globally renowned and ever-evolving style is defined by a subtle fusion of East meets West. It means clean lines and neutral tones, intuitively balanced with an opulent warmth.
She has designed for a number of celebrities, including David and Victoria Beckham; and Martin Shaw. Also, Kelly’s team has put their stamp on the homes, yachts, hotels, and jets of private clients all over the world.
Further, some of Hoppen’s most recent projects include a collaboration with Disney. So to celebrate Mickey Mouse’s 90th anniversary, the Celebrity Edge cruise ship for Celebrity Cruises, an ultra-luxury residential tower block in Taiwan, One Park Taipei. And also LUX* Grand Gaube hotel, the second hotel she has designed for LUX* in Mauritius.
The author of nine design books, Kelly is also a TV personality, appearing as an investor on BBC’s Dragon’s Den, a judge on the Great British Design Challenge. And most recently as a candidate on Celebrity Apprentice in aid of Comic Relief.
“My philosophy has always remained the same. It’s about creating calm balanced environments based on Eastern cultures, i.e. order and creation of harmony. How people feel in a space is as important as the way it looks; one can’t be without the other to succeed.”She has said of her design philosophy.
In sum, her interest in both furniture and product design shines through the authenticity of her work. She is a versatile person deeply committed to all areas of her creative output.

You might also like: Ilse Crawford: The Art of Design
Ilse Crawford is a British designer, academic and creative director with a simple mission to put human needs and desires at the center of all that she does.
Although often described as an interior designer, Crawford’s portfolio contains projects ranging from a secluded garden for a Hong Kong restaurant to the conversion of a 100-year-old house in Stockholm into a boutique hotel.
Ilse Crawford started her career as a journalist and at only 27 she became the editor of Elle Decoration UK. After over a decade in magazines, with a mission to put human needs and desires back at the center of the design, she founded her multi-disciplinary practice Studioilse in 2001, which is her main business.
“Working for a magazine gave me a real on-the-ground education, an insight into what is actually successful. I saw so much new that I began to prioritize what would last and connect. I am still interested in the new, but I am also concerned about the relevant.”
“Because, I think, interiors are ultimately where we live, they are a lot more than pieces of furniture. They’re really about the interior life, how we live as human beings.” In other words, it means designing furniture and products that support and enhance human behavior and actions in everyday life.
Crawford is the founder of the department of Man and Well-Being at the prestigious Design Academy Eindhoven. Her mission extends to nurturing a new generation of students to always question why and how their work improves the reality of life.
She designed the Soho House club in New York, Babington House, the Electric Cinema, and the Hong Kong restaurant Duddell’s, as well as pieces for Georg Jensen.
It’s not a traditional restaurant & bar. Nor an art gallery. And it’s much more than an exclusive members’ club. Indeed, it’s a place where you pay a lot of money to be a part of, if you’re lucky to get in, since there is a massive waiting list. Despite Duddell’s undeniable opulence and grandeur, Crawford took her signature humanistic approach to design, where people are placed at the centre of the project.
Ilse Crawford received some awards throughout her career. Below, we highlight the most recent ones:
Crawford was profiled in the first season of the Netflix docu-series – Abstract: The Art of Design. This is an original documentary series highlighting artists in the field of design. It was released on Netflix on February 10, 2017
