Kit Miles Studio launches new textile collection at Minotti London

Minotti London hosted a spectacular evening, allowing designer Kit Miles to launch his new textile collections by injecting the showroom with colour… 

On December 5, Minotti London welcomed designers and special guests to the launch of designer Kit Miles’ latest textile collections. The seamless relationship between the Italian luxury furniture brand and the British textiles studio was born from the shared values for quality, innovation and creativity.

The designer, who launched his London-based studio in 2013, unveiled his latest work on the walls of the Fitzrovia showroom. Minotti London displayed the vivid details of Miles’ the new Kubrick range by reupholstering one of its iconic armchairs chairs in the vibrant colours and vivid patterns.

“The concept of pattern has become the conceptual heart of a project coming to life,” Miles told Hotel Designs. “Our potent and dynamic collections sing across and around the Minotti furniture, both brands representing a design universe steeped in quality and of pushing at design frontiers, here we do so vividly, passionately and unapologetically.”

“It is testament to imagination that, when we commit wholehearted to authenticity, we can forge identity – and in doing so, create memories that live in people forever. I see no greater vehicle through which to do that with than design.”

The new collections include Birds in Chains, Corinthian Check, Cylinders, Diagonal Gradient, Ecclesiastical Botanic, Emperor Damask, Fretwork, Kubrick, Phases des Camelias and Ultraviolet Garden.

“We love Kit’s work and like to promote young British talent like Kit Miles,” added Co-Founder and Director of Minotti London, Anke Summerhill. “We have used his beautiful wallpapers and fabrics to show how versatile our furniture is and how beautifully it fits in with any look.”
