THE JOURNAL


NEFARIOUS INTERIORS


Adam Knight founded his Chelsea-based design studio in 2020, with an ambition to create something meaningful. Along with his team of four, he designs creative interiors for homes, restaurants and commercial spaces that deftly combine detail and function.


What’s the thread that runs through every scheme, regardless of aesthetic? While every project is unique, there’s always a consistent thread – a bold sense of character, a commitment to craftsmanship and a love for layering unexpected elements.


What one thing do your projects always include? Something we haven’t designed before. No two projects should ever feel the same. We intentionally avoid repetition, ensuring that each space is a fresh response to the individual or brand behind it.


Is there any business advice you wish you’d known when you started out? Designing the space is only half the job – the rest is designing the business. Creativity gets you noticed, but structure keeps you going. I had to learn (sometimes the hard way) that boundaries are just as important as briefs.


What projects are you working on at the moment? One ongoing project is the design of an outhouse for a Georgian manor house just outside the city – a particularly meaningful commission, as this client was our very first and we’ve had the pleasure of working together for over four years.


What’s your latest discovery at the Design Centre? Julian Chichester. We were genuinely blown away by the craftsmanship, attention to detail and sheer level of innovation across its collection.
