Kelly Hoppen is best known as the interior designer whose calm, elegant aesthetic has permeated our consciousness and achieved an iconic (and much imitated) status. In October 2004, Kelly celebrated 25 years in business and the culmination of a number of ambitious projects.
In addition to leading her celebrated interior design studio--which as completed international designs for houses, apartments, yachts, a hotel, and numerous corporate spaces--Kelly has successfully implemented her unique approach across a number of business areas, firmly establishing her reputation as designer, retailer, author, educator, innovator, and inspiration.
In 2002, Kelly opened a shop in London's Brompton Cross, offering furniture, accessories, and services from wedding list to interior design consultancy. The same format was later rolled out in USA in conjunction with the exclusive Bergdorf Goodman in the fall of 2004. This American debut was followed in 2005 with the openings of Kelly Hoppen boutiques in Neiman Marcus stores in Miami and San Francisco.
Members of the public can access the Kelly Hoppen brand even more intimately through the Kelly Hoppen School of Design. Every master class allows up to 15 students to learn about Kelly's approach to interior design, including styling, budgeting, sourcing, dealing with the client, and time management.
In fall 2004, as part of her 25th anniversary celebrations, Kelly launched her fifth book, the latest in a dynamic and successful publishing program. Part retrospective and part manifesto, Kelly Hoppen Style, the Golden Rules of Design explores Kelly's global influences, reveals stunning new interior projects, and offers guidance on how to recreate her style. Kelly Hoppen's other books are East Meets West, Table Chic, In Touch, and Close Up.
