Ottalie Stride & Camilla Clarke
Albion Nord is a London-based interior design studio that creates homes with an inherent sense of place that are not showpieces but sanctuaries, inviting conversation, celebration and calm. Joint creative directors, Ottalie Stride and Camilla Clarke share a sensibility that ensures a contemporary elegance ground all the spaces they design. Both are passionate about sourcing rare and unique antiques and objects and believe these storied pieces bring authenticity to the homes they create. Ottalie’s experience across the interior design industry has given her an abundance of influences. By drawing on everything from cool European Classicism to eclectic British Style, and by adding a dash of youthful playfulness, Ottalie makes sure that every Albion Nord project has its own inimitable character. Camilla turned a love of art and sketching into a passion for interior design and since then, she has worked on everything from Georgian homes to contemporary penthouses. Her strong relationships with craftspeople coupled with her deep knowledge of art and antiques allow her to create compelling identities for all kinds of interiors.

Camilla: "Our Entrance Hallway, mainly because of its beautiful original sweeping staircase. The house is atypical from all of the other houses on the street and the layout allows for a lovely open hallway space that we have filled with our favourite artwork, lamps and a big vase of foliage from the magnolia tree in the garden."
