Kit Kemp and Annie Selke Debut 2024 Collection
Some of our favourites from the collection redefining contemporary arts and crafts
Kit Kemp, co-owner and creative director of Firmdale Hotels and principal of her namesake design studio, has a knack for pattern-punching styles.
With inspiration from New Fort, a national park in England where she spends her summers, Kemp’s latest collection with Annie Selke draws on historic references and personal memories as inspiration. It consists of earthy hues, nature-inspired motifs and handcrafted details, including hand appliqué, embroidery and cutwork.
Here are a few of our favourite pieces.
