Charleston House has always felt like a place where ideas are free to flourish. Shaped by instinct, creativity and a deep respect for craft, it embodies values that sit at the heart of everything we do at our Design Studio. We are delighted that Kit will be returning to Charleston on the 19th March to talk about her work and her new book, Design Stories, in a setting that feels so closely aligned with our approach to interiors.
In Design Stories, Kit invites readers into the imaginative process behind her residential and hotel projects, exploring how spaces are brought to life through colour, pattern, texture and storytelling. Much like Charleston itself, the book celebrates a fearless and intuitive approach to design, one that values individuality over perfection and joy over convention.
Craftsmanship lies at the centre of our work. We are passionate about championing artisans and reviving traditional skills, whether through hand-embroidered textiles, bespoke furniture or hand-painted wallpapers. These details bring soul to a space, introducing layers of meaning and moments of surprise that ensure every interior feels personal rather than prescribed.
During her conversation at Charleston, Kit will reflect on the ideas and inspirations that shape the studio’s work, from the relationship between art and interiors to the importance of joy, play and curiosity in the design process. She will also discuss how we create rooms that feel deeply personal while offering moments of quiet surprise, encouraging people to engage, linger and discover.
Design is never static for us. It evolves with every project, collaboration and place. Design Stories captures this ongoing journey, presenting interiors not simply as finished rooms, but as living environments shaped by texture, craft and character.
To share these ideas at Charleston, surrounded by a house that so beautifully embodies creative freedom, feels especially meaningful. We look forward to celebrating the enduring power of storytelling, craftsmanship and joyful design. Click here to view more.
