THE ART OF LIVING WELL

Carmel is the vision of interior designer Julie Brownson and her passion for creating spaces with meaning: where craftsmanship, connection and story come to life. Located in Barnes, south-west London, Carmel is a place to explore, to slow down, and to appreciate the beauty of well-made things.

Our collections celebrate the everyday: the quiet satisfaction of a perfectly placed object, the joy of a laidback gathering around a table, the comfort of a carefully designed corner of a room, with each item designed to connect you to the moments and places that matter.

JULIE BROWNSON

Founder & Creative Director

Julie is the creative force behind Carmel, bringing a global design perspective and a deep appreciation for authentic, well-crafted objects.

Julie’s inspiration is rooted in the landscapes of the American West: road trips along the coast, through the desert, and into the national parks. But it is the coastal village of Carmel, California - with its historic charm, understated beauty and sense of community - that has had the greatest impact on her vision.

She created Carmel as a reflection of these travels: a place that is welcoming, tactile and inspiring. Somewhere people can touch, feel, explore, and ultimately discover objects that bring comfort, curiosity and joy into their homes.
