ROBERT ANGELL
Designer Focus
There is a classic sense of heritage
and timelessness in his approach
R
obert Angell Design International is synonymous with luxury,
timeless design. Prior to establishing Robert Angell Design
International in 2010, Robert worked alongside David
Collins as Creative Director for 15 years. Robert has designed
some of the most renowned and prestigious restaurants, bars,
hotels, commercial headquarters, residential and retail interiors for many of
the world’s leading luxury brands and influencers.
“Every design we create is unique to each client” says Robert, “We deliver
what is the ultimate luxury interior for them.”
From initial conception through to completion Robert is fully involved in
every part of the design process and is something that he is very passionate
about, “we have an individual, unique approach to every client and project.
I oversee every project and direct the studio to ensure that every part of it
has been considered and designed with the closest attention to detail. Our
aim is always to exceed expectations. We want to push the boundaries of
luxury design.” Recent commissions for Marcus Wareing, his two-Michelin
starred MARCUS at The Berkeley and his latest venture Tredwell’s saw
Robert and his team conceptualise and create everything entirely bespoke to
Marcus and his brief. “Everything at MARCUS was created by us” Robert
says, “For example all the pale blue leather upholstered chairs with beautiful
appliqué contrast studded leather strapping, are from a sketch that I did for
Marcus which he loved.” His interiors for Tredwell’s included the design and
construction of a bespoke centre-piece clock, made entirely of antique bonehandled
knives in reference to Agatha Christie’s, ‘The Seven Dials Mystery’
- the origin of the restaurant’s name and also co-incidentally the location of
Tredwell’s in Covent Garden’s Seven Dials.
