Kate Hume is a British interior designer and glass artist whose work is distinguished by a confident use of color, a highly curated mix of custom-made pieces and found objects, and an instinct for creating homes that feel both luxurious and deeply livable. Based in Amsterdam, she has spent more than two decades developing private residences and hospitality projects for an international clientele, with interiors that balance sophistication, warmth, and a quietly cosmopolitan point of view. Her studio describes her work as centered on serene, elegant, comfortable homes, while also noting the hands-on approach and visual fluency she brought from an earlier career in fashion and film styling.
Although she is best known for interiors, Hume's design career began with glass. Her studio notes that her first mouth-blown pieces were created out of curiosity about how glass was made, and that they quickly found an audience among collectors and stores internationally. Since 1998, she has produced a substantial body of unique glass works, while continuing to expand her interior practice across city residences, country houses, beach homes, and boutique hospitality spaces. Within the Luminaire context, Kate Hume is especially compelling for the way she joins color, craftsmanship, and atmosphere into interiors and objects that feel polished, personal, and enduring.
