No. 9 Albemarle Street - Mayfair

Our Mayfair shop and gallery space is delighted to play host to furniture designer Matthew Hilton’s first ever exhibition of sculpture. Tough Moment, which coincides with London Design Festival and Frieze London, explores Hilton's fascination with form and the meeting of industrially made and hand-crafted objects.

“I want my sculptures to embody strength, weight, and a balance between form, manufacture, and emotion,” he explains. “I am working on abstracted forms with vague, almost memories of figurative, representational beginnings.”

Tough Moment is open now until 26 September 2023.

Designed and curated entirely by Paul, a new namesake suite is now open at Brown’s Hotel, one of London’s most iconic institutions – and it’s just across the street from our Albemarle Street shop.

Filled with Paul Smith homeware, a hand-picked selection of art and custom furniture, the space is designed to spark creativity as much as relaxation. “I’ve long been of the belief that you can find inspiration everywhere,” Paul explains. “But I think it tends to come a bit easier when you’re in a creative space and surrounded by imaginative objects and artworks.”

Curated by founder Sophie Pearce, the space in our lower ground floor has been transformed with a selection of one-of-a-kind and rare vintage furniture dating from the 18th to 20th century.

A monument to both old and new, it discreetly incorporates Paul’s hand drawings, while seamlessly blending with the architectural traditions of the local area and the pattern has been referenced in Paul Smith collections in recent years.
