The client is seeking a Mid-Weight to Senior Interior Designer with strong FF&E expertise to join their close-knit team based in Central London. This is a rare opportunity to work on a once-in-a-lifetime, ambitious and highly bespoke project: the restoration and refinement of a Grade I listed estate of significant cultural and historical importance.

This role is suited to an experienced designer with the confidence and capability to take ownership of complex work streams. The project demands a sophisticated design sensibility and a willingness to push boundaries, thoughtfully curating and combining historic and contemporary elements to create spaces of exceptional quality. The successful candidate will be highly creative, detail-driven, and comfortable working within demanding programmes.

The role involves sourcing furniture, antiques, and art, as well as designing bespoke furniture, upholstery, and lighting. You will be responsible for leading FF&E packages, producing concept schemes, mood boards, fabric and finish schedules, and client-facing presentations. You will oversee detailed specifications, schedules, and budgets, and manage procurement from concept through to installation. The project has significant scale and design complexity.

The successful candidate will demonstrate excellent organisational and time-management skills, a strong understanding of budgets, and a high level of commercial awareness. The ability to build and maintain strong supplier relationships and to manage complex, high-value FF&E packages is essential.
