A Life in Colour: Rachel Chudley in conversation with Sean A. Pritchard

Overview

Join interior designer Rachel Chudley and Sean A. Pritchard for an evening discussion exploring the joy of living with colour.

For both Rachel and Sean, colour is not only an integral part of the creative process but something that in all areas of everyday life offers inspiration, motivation and a sense of wellbeing. The pair will reflect on their relationships with colour, how it permeates through their lives and how it informs their work in design.

The evening begins at 18:30 with a drinks reception. The talk starts at 19:00 and concludes at 20:00.

Events at the Atmosfloric Emporium take place in the Gallery, a dedicated space for ideas and discovery. Please note, the bathroom is located on a lower level and accessible only by stairs, which may limit access for some attendees.

Rachel Chudley is an interior designer based in London, where she founded her eponymous studio in 2015. With a style best characterised as ‘contemporary baroque’, she creates singular, storied spaces defined by art, colour, and unexpected details.

Rachel and her team work on bespoke residential and commercial projects from the intimate to the expansive – compact apartments and medieval palazzos – both in the UK and around the world.

Rachel Chudley trained in the History of Art at London’s Courtauld Gallery before shifting her focus to interior design. Her fascination with perspective, colour balance, and defining details endures, shaping the rich, radical, and refined spaces she creates now, in collaboration with her clients.

Pulling at the loose thread, she loves to trace esoteric ideas back to their most fundamental form; an approach which has led her to outline the rising morning sun on a bedroom wall, or to transpose a map in extra-large format across a house’s ground floor. Always, in Rachel’s work, there is a story.

Sean A. Pritchard is a multi‑disciplinary designer and author based between London and Somerset. Working across gardens, flowers, interiors and visual communication, his practice explores the dialogue between the natural world and contemporary culture.

Prior to establishing his studio, Sean trained in garden design — graduating with Distinction from The Garden Design School, Bristol — and spent over a decade in magazine publishing at Country Life and Wallpaper.*

He is the author of Outside In and Atmosfloric, published internationally by Mitchell Beazley, which together examine his long‑standing fascination with the relationships between colour, flowers and interior spaces. In 2025 and 2026, Sean designed the ODD Pavilion at RHS Chelsea, and in 2022 created the Macmillan Cancer Research Legacy Garden at RHS Hampton Court.

In the winter of 2026, Sean opened the Atmosfloric Emporium on Great Portland Street in central London — a seasonal retail and events concept bringing together makers, artists and brands from around the world.
