Chelsea Design Quarter members have been delighted to participate and support the inaugural year of Holiday House London. Founded in New York in 2008 by interior designer and breast cancer survivor Iris Danker, Holiday House celebrates its 10th year of raising money for breast cancer research. To date the interior design showcase event has raised over $1 million for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Taking place across two houses on Hamilton Terrace in North London the amazing installation has rooms designed by highly esteemed designers such as Nina Campbell and Justin van Breda, Studio QD in collaboration with Nicky Haslam, Turner Pocock, Roselind Wilson, Shalini Misra and Patrik Lonn Designs to name a few. Waterworks are a key sponsor for the installation and hosted the kick-off party in September which was attended by a number of the designers, sponsors and supporters. They have also provided a selection of accessories from their collection for the powder rooms.
