At home with… Elfi Frankfurt

A true renaissance woman. That’s the best way to describe Elfi Frankfurt, because, while she has been practicing interior design in Keswick for more than 25 years (and in London before that), she’s also designed in arenas from fashion and jewelry to fabrics and carpets—all over the world, including Austria, France and Switzerland. In fact, she incorporates many of her custom designs into the rooms she decorates. We asked her to tell us what she’s been working on lately and where she likes to spend time in her own home.
