INTRODUCING SELINA JOHNSON - THE NEW ADDITION TO OUR DESIGN TEAM
We’re delighted to introduce Selina to our team, an interior designer whose design journey reflects a deep-rooted passion for the way people experience space. With a design sensibility shaped by her work on luxury hotels and bespoke residences, Selina brings a thoughtful, narrative-led approach to every project she works on.
Selina joins us at a particularly exciting time for Accouter. As we continue to expand our portfolio of exclusive residential and development projects both in London and internationally, our team is growing to meet the creative and technical demands of this next chapter. Her arrival marks part of a wider expansion, as we bring in new talent across disciplines to support the increasing volume and complexity of our work.
This growth is also reflected in our recent move to a new London headquarters at 1 Gower Street - a beautifully converted five-storey townhouse in the heart of Bloomsbury. This elegant new space is a hub for collaboration, creativity, and client engagement. A place where our expanding team can thrive, host meetings with our clientele, and continue to deliver the elevated design experience that defines Accouter.
Read on as Selina delves into her design ethos, her multifaceted role at Accouter, and her vision for modern luxury in London’s most exclusive addresses…
SELINA JOHNSON - ASSOCIATE INTERIOR DESIGNER
“I studied Fashion Marketing at university but soon realised my real passion was interiors and how people experience space. That then led me to complete a Master’s in Interior and Spatial Design.
I started out at Goddard Littlefair working on luxury hotels, then moved to Andrea Benedettini, where I focused on high-end residential projects.
My role at Accouter mainly focuses on FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment) design, sourcing fabrics, furniture, and finishes, but I also work closely with our interior architect Perrine, to make sure everything ties together.
Each day offers something completely different. One day I may be creating client presentations, the next visiting a trade show or helping with an on-site install. It definitely keeps it exciting!
I’d say my favourite Accouter project would be the upcoming Hampstead project. It’s a grand eight-bedroom home with a male majlis and even a secret door. It blends modern and traditional elements with a country house feel, which makes it really unique. It’s certainly one to look out for!
Overall, I am very excited to see more of the projects I’ve worked on come to life, learning as I go, and helping make our new HQ office feel like home. There’s a lot to be excited about!”
“We are thrilled to welcome Selina Johnson as the newest member of our design team. Joining us as an FF&E Designer, Selina brings a fresh and creative energy to our projects. With a keen eye for detail, a passion for beautiful materials, and an instinct for innovation, she has already proven herself to be a valuable addition to the studio.
Selina’s strong background in FF&E design, coupled with her creative flair, enables her to craft spaces that are both elegant and highly personalised. She is dedicated to delivering exceptional interiors that perfectly reflect our clients’ visions. We are excited to see her creativity in action and look forward to the inspiring designs she will help bring to life.”
