Trained as an architect, Chester Jones has been designing interior for over 50 years and is the winner of the House & Garden Lifetime Achievement Award 2020. He set up his own studio in 1990, having spent 20 years working at Sibyl Colefax & John Fowler. The 2014 book The Interiors of Chester Jones illustrates his use of colour, line and texture, the placement of objects and art and how he creates spare, intelligent interiors that exude calm and balance. His work
is underpinned by his view that ‘the architecture of a home’s interior may be excellent, but to my way of thinking, it is through the contents and the details of people’s lives that the most memorable rooms emerge’.
