Christine Van Der Hurd

Born and bred in London, Christine Van Der Hurd is admired internationally as one of the most creative minds in the interiors and textiles industry. With a career that spans some 50 years, it began in 1973 shortly after graduating from the esteemed Winchester Art College immediately selling her designs to Osborne & Little, Liberty of London, Etro and Yves Saint Laurent.Today, the Vanderhurd design studio and textile atelier prides itself on working ascomfortably on smaller bespoke projects as well as scaled hotel and retail commissions.The thread that binds the studio’s timeless designs is the inspired use of colour and textureas well as an inherent understanding of hand weaving, printing and embroidery workingclosely with artisans to develop new techniques, qualities and innovations that allow theseancient processes to be preserved and evolved into contemporary design.

WP: "What is your most beloved room in your home and why?"
Christine: "I live with my partner in a London mews not far from our Design Studio. It is hard to get away from work, so when I can escape, I love to hang out in our bedroom which is so filled with character. Hidden away at the very top of the house the light is really amazing. I have covered the walls with a whimsical floral fabric which adds a warmth and joy. Here surrounded by piles of my favourite books, favourite art works and photographs I am so happy to relax and read. On one of my many work trips to India where we manufacture many of our carpets and textiles, I found this exquisite Candy floss pink Phulkari often given as a bridal wedding gift. I had been collecting these beautiful textiles for several years but had never found one in such a fabulous colour and in such good condition."
