“I only take on projects that excite me”
The renowned interior designer Kelly Hoppen MBE joined yoo in 2009 to form Kelly Hoppen for yoo. The brand’s first project was at the luxury second-home development, The Lakes by yoo, in England’s idyllic Cotswolds.
South African born; now based in London, Hoppen is the author of a series of best-selling books, and the name behind a brand that is synonymous with a globally recognised, and highly liveable, luxury style, where opulent materials and muted colours meet influences from the East while incorporating the best of western interior design. She has successfully applied it to every kind of interior, from apartments to aircraft, and homes to hotels. She also runs a thriving retail business and a design school. Kelly has worked with clients including David and Victoria Beckham. “Good design, “according to Hoppen, “is about zoning and allocating space, not just about making things look beautiful.”
