NICKY HASLAM STUDIO

  

Nicky Haslam’s greatest legacy is his undeniable talent and influence as Britain’s ultimate interior designer, he is also known as an artist, author of seven books, cabaret singer, book reviewer, art editor, memoirist and literary editor.

The Haslam aesthetic has been magnetising design cognoscenti around the world since 1972 when he first started practicing as an interior designer. In the late 1980’s Haslam founded his London-based architectural and design firm Nicky Haslam Studio. The firm is established as one of the most important luxury interior design offices in the United Kingdom, known for high-end design, bespoke furnishings and a style that is ever changing with the times, yet always distinguishable for its humour, charm and wit - much like Haslam himself. Under his guidance, his creative team combines a unique sense of history with a modern contemporary outlook and the firm works on projects all over the globe including the English countryside and London, New York, Morocco, New Orleans, Denmark, Montreal, Barbados, Monaco and Moscow, South of France, Mallorca, Los Angeles and Paris.

  

While at school at Eton, Haslam excelled in art. Today, some of his interior watercolour renderings – created based on select interior design projects - are held by the Victoria and Albert Museum as well as The Royal Institute of British Architects. His opinion and expertise as a creative writer are consistently sought for publications including: American and British Vogue, Show Magazine – a forerunner to Vanity Fair, Harper’s Bazaar, The London Evening Standard Magazine, Sunday Telegraph Magazine, The World of Interiors, The Spectator and Tatler. Specifically, Haslam has been a guest editor for Vogue and Tatler.


  • Nicky Haslam Studio has created residences, restaurants, retail environments for high profile and celebrity clientele including names like Mick Jagger, Bryan Ferry, Rod Stewart, Ringo Starr, Charles Saatchi and Rupert Everett. Haslam also designed the décors for some of the ritziest parties of our age: the Opera Ball in Hong Kong and events for the Prince and Princess of Wales, Lord Rothschild, Simon and Jennifer Murray, Sir Evelyn and Lady de Rothschild, the Cartier Polo gala lunches at Windsor, a candle-lit dinner at the State Apartments in Kensington Palace as well as a National Gallery banquet. The Nicky Haslam Studio visual signature has been placed on a nightclub formerly in the Dorchester Hotel London, the salons for the dress designers Bellville-Sassoon and The Emanuels (the dress makers responsible for  Lady Diana’s wedding dress) and the Lichfield suite at the Mandarin Oriental in Hong Kong.


  • Haslam is the author of five books; a panorama of his work titled ‘Sheer Opulence’ and ‘Redeeming Features’, his memoir, ‘A Designer's Life', an archive of inspired design and decor. ‘Folly de Grandeur’, a lavishly illustrated book revealing the fascinating history, decorating schemes and personal touches of Nicky’s former country house, The Hunting Lodge. ‘The Impatient Pen’, a curated collection of Nicky’s accomplishments as a writer incorporating decades of reviews and reflections. Nicky is currently working on several other publishing projects. Nicky is involved in various philanthropic ventures including The Ponsonby Temple Appeal for Parkstead House in Roehampton – his ancestral 18thCentury family home - the Soane Museum, Historic Royal Palaces, Maggies Cancer Centers UK and ASAP (African Solutions for African Problems).

The Ponsonby Temple

  • Nicky Haslam, the great-great-great-great grandson of the 2nd Earl of Bessborough, launched the appeal to restore this Georgian Portland limestone temple built in 1760 for William Ponsonby, the 2nd Earl of Bessborough and designed by architect Sir William Chambers. The neo-classical temple was discovered dismantled in the cellar of Bessborough House, London, (now Parkstead House) when it was bought by what is now Roehampton University in 2000.
