Design Inspiration: The Apartment at The Connaught in London designed by David Collins
Monday 28th March, 2016
by Louise Keane
Hidden at the top of The Connaught Hotel in Mayfair in London is a secret gem—a home away from home—which is simply called ‘The Apartment’. The space was designed by David Collins Studio, and boasts vaulted ceilings, bespoke, handcrafted furniture such as the dining table which seats eight, and a marble fireplace with inlaid brass detailing. The soothing colour palette uses a base of neutral tones and then layers the lavenders and blues often seen in the famed Irish interior designer & architect’s designs, enlivened with brass and gold. Step through the statement blue doors into a world designed for comfort and beauty . . . —Louise
