Anouska Hempel
Anouska Hempel is a celebrated designer with her work spanning architecture, interior and furniture design, haute couture, fashion, garden and product design. As a hotelier, she has owned, designed and managed three award winning boutique hotels (Blakes London, Blakes Amsterdam, The Hempel) which showcase her signature style and are produced with the highest attention to detail from the guest bedrooms to the imaginative menus. A fusion of west meets east pervades her design whether it is a classical or contemporary feel. Hempel's restaurant designs range from modern minimalist to theatrical. She has designed retail stores for Van Cleef and Arpels and Louis Vuitton. Hempel has also designed two yachts, ‘Beluga’, her own personal yacht, and San Lorenzo, a sleek minimal design for a private commission. Hempel has taken several private commissions for homes and landscapes, such as a garden in honour of Princess Margaret in Oxford. She has designed haute couture clothes for many famous women – including Princess Diana and Princess Margaret of the Royal Family. Hempel’s creative design efforts are chronicled in a recently released coffee table book in the UK with Thames & Hudson, and in USA with Rizzoli book publishers. Anouska Hempel Design is a truly international practice with projects completed or underway in the Americas, Europe, Africa, and the Middle and Far East, and the book reflects the scope and scale of the work to date.
