David Hicks
David Hicks became one of the most influential British interior designers of the 1960s and 1970s, developing a distinctive style combining bold geometric patterns with unexpected color combinations, a significant departure from the more traditional English country house aesthetic that had previously dominated British interior design. His 1966 marriage to Lady Pamela Mountbatten, daughter of Lord Mountbatten and a cousin of Queen Elizabeth II, gave Hicks direct access to aristocratic and royal social circles that significantly expanded his client base and public profile within British society. Hicks is widely credited with popularizing the concept of "tablescapes," deliberately arranged groupings of small decorative objects displayed together on tabletops, a decorating technique that became widely adopted and remains a common interior design practice today. David Hicks's combination of his bold geometric pattern-mixing design style and his popularization of the tablescape decorating concept has made him one of the most influential British interior designers of the modern era.

Kelly Wearstler
Kelly Wearstler founded her Los Angeles-based design studio in 1995, and she became particularly known for designing boutique hotels, including several properties for the Viceroy Hotel Group, bringing her maximalist, eclectic design sensibility to hospitality projects at a significant commercial scale. Wearstler's design aesthetic combines bold pattern mixing, unexpected material combinations, and vintage furniture sourcing with her own original furniture and product lines, reflecting a genuinely maximalist departure from the more restrained minimalist design trends that dominated much of the 2000s and 2010s. She gained significant mainstream television visibility as a judge on Bravo's design competition series "Top Design," extending her public profile well beyond the interior design industry's own trade press into broader mainstream popular culture. Kelly Wearstler's combination of her extensive boutique hospitality design portfolio and her mainstream television visibility has made her one of the most commercially and culturally significant contemporary American interior designers.
