renowned names and rising stars alike had embraced the opportunity to stretch their creative muscles and let their imaginations fly. Shalini Misra conceived an entrance foyer filled with the treasures of multiple generations. Freddy van Zevenbergen set about changing “the perception of what a dining room can be,” with an eclectic, three-zone dining room inspired by a maximalist bejewelled brooch. Rui Ribeiro played with the mid-17th century notion of a ‘withdrawing’ room, conjuring an alluring retreat infused with layers of texture, alongside carefully curated furniture, art and objects in collaboration with international makers. Ten of the rooms were generously sponsored by major


international brands, leading to such collaboratively designed delights as Colefax and Fowler’s boldly contemporary take on the classic English Drawing Room created by Sibyl Colefax & John Fowler’s joint MDs Emma Burns and Philip Hooper; the Martin Moore Dressing Room, an opulent yet highly functional, exquisitely detailed space designed by the British manufacturer’s design director Richard Moore, and the Julian Chichester Library of luxe by interior design studio Turner Pocock. Irresistibly inviting, it was, said Jodie Hopkins, Julian Chichester’s sales and marketing director, a place to “kick back with a Tom Collins, listen to some vinyl and immerse yourself in some classic literature.”
