Alice Palmer is a London based homeware designer. Best known for her box pleat fabric lampshades, which launched her eponymous brand in 2019 and proved an instant hit, she has since expanded her offering to include everything from fabric wrapped mirrors and cushions to wallpaper and ceramic table lamps and hand painted plates. Developed in Alice’s North West London studio and inspired by her travels around the world, each design embodies her joyful, more is more aesthetic.
Drawing on her love of travel, many of Alice’s designs are inspired by places she has visited, such as Morocco, India and the West Indies. Alice works with hotels and restaurants and attracts clients from around the world, with a loyal following in both the US, Europe and Australia. Underpinning everything she does is a belief that colour and pattern are life enhancing.
