Design Stories by Kit Kemp, with Giles Kime. Photographs by Simon Brown. Signed by Kit Kemp.

Throughout this striking hardcover book, Kit reveals how her distinctive and often bold approach invokes curiosity and intrigue and provides a visual journey for the reader that will delight both the eye and the mind.

Known for her unique design style that seamlessly blends bold colour combinations and eclectic patterns with great ease, Kemp has become a global icon in the world of interior design.

With her unapologetic use of colour, exquisite layering of pattern, and an eye for the unexpected, Kemp has revolutionised contemporary interior design. In her first Rizzoli book, she invites readers into her imaginative world, revealing how she transforms interiors into richly woven stories of texture, craft, and individuality. 

Kemp’s spaces are more than just rooms - they are experiences, each one a vibrant tapestry of art, antiques, and bespoke details that surprise and delight. Her signature aesthetic is a masterful blend of craft and sophistication, where embroidered headboards meet hand-painted wallpapers, where ikat-covered cushions blend with twentieth-century art, and where every corner holds a moment of magic. 

Brimming with stunning photography and boundless inspiration, this essential volume is more than a design book - it is an invitation to break free from the ordinary and create interiors that reflect personality, passion, and a true sense of place. Whether drawn to playful pattern, soulful craftsmanship, or the art of storytelling through interiors, this book will inspire readers to make every space as individual as those who inhabit them.
