Anyone who follows the world of interiors knows the name Robert Kime. The Englishman is a decorating legend with a well-revered signature that stems from, and is bolstered by, his love of antique dealing and textile collecting. “He uses furniture and antiques that bequeath their own layers of history, and he uses fabrics that are either old, or seem ageless, to add a hint of a wider exotic world,” writes Alastair Langlands in a new book on Kime. “In this way, by being associated with the past and the present, his rooms become timeless.” Robert Kime (Frances Lincoln Limited) intimately examines the life of this interior-designer superstar and takes a deep dive into 12 of his interior projects, from the English and Irish countryside to Provence and the Bahamas. See the above slideshow for a preview. You can see for yourself why he’s found fans the whole world over — including the Prince of Wales, a longtime client who wrote the foreward and called out “Robert’s exceptional gifts as a ‘maker of places and spaces.’”
