a hand embroidered fabric collection has been created by<br />
kit kemp, design director of firmdale hotels, in collaboration<br />
with chelsea textiles’ head designer, jenny simpson.<br />
influenced by a sense of the whimsical and the lyrical,<br />
as well as a love of animals, the collection features a series of<br />
characters and patterns that have a primitive, folkloric feel.<br />
the narratives unfold playfully on the fabric, from a star<br />
gazing dog and a sailor’s farewell to mythical creatures<br />
and a modern take on a suzani.<br />
the art of hand-embroidery is the essence of chelsea textiles<br />
and kit kemp brings the medium to light using wonderful<br />
colour palettes and charming, idiosyncratic patterns. chelsea<br />
textiles specialises in bespoke, hand-embroidered textiles and<br />
is one of very few companies safeguarding the skill and timehonoured<br />
tradition of producing exquisitely detailed handmade<br />
fabrics, using authentic, high quality materials.
i’ve always cherished<br />
embroidery, as an art<br />
form as well as a constant<br />
source of inspiration for<br />
the fabrics i use to<br />
decorate rooms.<br />

interiors should never<br />
be too serious.<br />
