Augustus Kotei

After graduating from the prestigious Chelsea School of arts and Design, Augustus established a successful design studio in London. Now working alongside world renowned interior designers, architects, and international fashion houses, also working as a scenic artist for film and stage sets, he creates bespoke surface designs for worldwide projects and installations.

Always continuing to study his craft, Augustus also represents some of the leading paint producers from Europe, furthering the development of these inventive techniques by teaching and demonstrating their decorative products to industry specialists. Having worked closely with artisans in Italy and Spain for many years, Augustus continues to travel extensively for inspiration. He draws on the influence of the local culture, architecture and landscape to expand his collection of paintings and extensive photography portfolio.

With his education in fine arts, he applies this artistic skill and utilises a wealth of technical knowledge in his pursuit to create imaginative and progressive artwork. The originality of his creations and desire to evolve the pieces, illustrates his driving passion in the interpretation of pattern and unites innovative design with authentic craftsmanship.
