Kit’s latest collaboration with Wilton Carpets is a Hospitality, Travel and Home collection for both traditional and modern interiors, interpreting scale and usability with the latest techniques in the market place. She says, “I have been able to create subtle effects and gradations of colour to give carpets a unique feel, similar to the finish of a hand-blocked fabric. The new looms at Wilton Carpets have made my ideas a possibility and with their design input, a joyful reality.”
The Kit Kemp by Wilton Carpets Collection introduces nine exciting innovative new designs. They are unique and multi-tasking designs suitable for many different interiors. The designs draw from a diverse array of inspirations from Folklore, Architecture and Botanical motifs. These come together to create a collection that works in both a traditional and modern way.
