Inside the Paul Smith Suite at the Brown’s Hotel in Mayfair
One of Britain’s most famous designers has created an exclusive new suite for the brown hotel in the prestigious London neighborhood of Mayfair.
Sir Paul Smith has long been known as a quintessential British designer, from humble beginnings in Nottingham in the 1970s to a now multinational brand with boutiques all over the world. Now, he’s bringing his approach a little closer to home, designing a charming new signature suite at Brown’s Hotel.
In collaboration with Rocco Forte’s design director, Olga Polizzi, the suite has been created to be “a place of inspiration and creativity.” From the artwork to the design books in the suite’s mini-library, no detail has been spared.
Of course, there are also more literal touches. Sir Paul Smith’s signature color stripes adorn the pillows, and many of his most notable collaborations for home and living can be found around the suite. From the blankets and rugs to the sofas, tables and even the leather goods, everything has received that magical touch from Paul Smith. There are even banana-shaped door handles, touching on both the designer’s and the hotel’s laid-back approach to “British humor and bespoke design.”
Conveniently, the Paul Smith boutique on Albemarle Street is just a few minutes away, and for those who can’t fly to London yet, several of the suite’s items are also available at the Paul Smith Online Store.
