My Happy Place – Lauren Elliott in the London King’s Road showroom
Up and coming British interior designer has bought her distinctive aesthetic to life in our latest King’s Road showroom installation. ‘My Happy Place’ serves as a vibrant canvas to showcase the latest collection by the esteemed Kit Kemp for Christopher Farr Cloth. To compliment the new collection Elliot selected braided jute in natural colours and a special one off rug inspired by Kit Kemps fabric design Bookend.
Elliott shared her initial inspiration for the space, stating, ‘When I heard that two of my favourites, Christopher Farr Cloth and Kit Kemp, had collaborated again, I was drawn to the bold, vibrant energy of their designs. I recently visited Georgia casinos and was struck by how their blend of Southern hospitality and modern flair creates such inviting spaces. That experience shaped my approach, pushing me to show how this stunning collection could bring a comfortable, refreshing, and fun vibe to your home. My Design Process always starts with what feels right to your core, not just what looks right.’
‘My Happy Place’ not only showcases Christopher Farr Cloth’s new collection but also features collaborations with other prestigious brands, including Julian Chichester, David Seyfried, Tom Faulkner, Porta Romana, Pooky, and Village London. The space is a testament to Elliott’s passion for art, with carefully curated works by Abstract Sculpture, Painting, and Studio Ceramics artist Daniel Reynolds, alongside emerging artist Sophie Daffern, generously loaned by Georgia Stoneman Fine Art.
Elliott’s illustrious career includes a tenure working for Kit Kemp and the Firmdale hotel group, making her the ideal choice for this installation linked to Kit’s new collection. When asked about her favourite fabric from the new collection, Elliott enthusiastically responded, ‘Another tough one…I would have to say Zig Zag! Bold, daring, colourful – everything I love!
‘Christopher Farr, to me, are the heavyweights of the design industry. Their approach to design is inspiring, always moving forward, creating collaborations and collections to last decades. When I was asked to collaborate with Christopher Farr, I think I shouted ‘yes’ before the question finished! The company as a whole, from the team to what they have in their libraries, is a recipe for greatness. Why would I say no?’ Lauren Elliott
