Behind the Design with Natalia Miyar: The Twenty Two
Explore the interiors of this exclusive London member's club
By Jade Bloomfield, Editor
Earning Miyar the House and Garden Pineapple Award for Hotel Design, The Twenty Two is, unsurprisingly, a sensation for the senses. Replete with colour, there is no surface left untouched by Miyar’s love of pattern or sensual texture. In the bedrooms you’ll find four poster beds upholstered entirely in red velvet, whilst the entrance hall is similarly gilded, this time in mirrors. In the restaurant, 28 shades of blue were trialled before settling on the perfect hue for the panelled walls that sit alongside golden armchairs and a collection of mushroom prints created specifically for the space.
Drawing inspiration from the great interiors of the 18th century, Natalia wanted to create a space of decadence and whimsy that feels just a little cheeky. The result is a tribute to colour; even the bespoke lighting was hand-blown in the club’s signature shades of teal, indigo, apricot and raspberry. A true example of escapist design, this is clearly the place to be for a reason.
“You'll see a tribute to colour in almost every space... it feels fresh and contemporary, and of course, still evocative of the 18th century French interiors that inspired the hotel.”
