“The final product of this basement corner redesign is a breathtaking escape – and any host's absolute dream. With statement marble, thought-provoking artwork and truly intelligent design, this blend of hotel and home is undoubtedly a success.”

“Working with Fare has been an absolute pleasure - being a design house ourselves, we were wary (and cautioned!) that creative collaborations are difficult and there would be a lot of “locking horns”. Nonetheless when we met Annie we had a really good feeling and knew she would be able to not only understand our vision, but translate it elegantly and efficiently. The end result was not only one of the easiest professional partnerships I have ever worked with, but an interior space which has truly captured the spirit of what we were trying to convey. Annie goes above and beyond for her clients and her ease, enthusiasm and dedication really show through.”

“Kingly Street’s Kolamba is the inaugural project for both restaurateurs Aushi and Eroshan Meewella and London-based interior designer Fare Inc. And what a debut! Natural textures, neutral palettes and a unifying terrazzo design are used to pay homage to the “tropical modernism” movement of Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa. Elsewhere, linen-piped leather banquettes, woven pendants and bespoke batik artworks add a softness to rustic sawn-wood screens and polished concrete walls. “The space feels fresh and authentic, much like the dishes leaving the kitchen,” says Dylan Jones. To dine at Kolamba is to segue through the sun-soaked spice markets of Sri Lanka, to savour Sinhalese flavours heady with coconut, cardamom and lemongrass. Surrounded by tropical greenery, Ginger & Peppercorn Mule in hand, you’d be forgiven for forgetting you’re still in Soho.”

“Where the design is as important as the food.”

“We have worked with Annie as a supplier for her commercial projects. She is always such a delight to work with - professional, creative and efficient. We love being involved in any of her projects!”

“Annie is an extremely talented designer. Her taste is impeccable and sophisticated. We are looking forward to do more projects with her! Highly recommended!”
