Robert Kime was a nonpareil. There'll always be good, even great decorators, but he had a unique magic. The very first time I saw his work, which was his own home in London, I thought this is someone whose taste and style is just what I aspire to. And judging by what I've seen and read about him, someone who was loved and admired by his peers.
My hero, his taste is perfection, I was so sad at his passing, he was one of those few people I would have loved to meet. I have ordered the catalogue of the sale to have 'something' of him, if only the imagery. RIP dear man.
What an extraordinarily fortunate group of people to have shared so much passion, goodness, creativity and beauty with one another. This makes my heart sing.
It's funny how instinctual taste, humility and loving objects because of that sparkle they have not their value seems radical. An absolute inspiration, in terms of just buying what you love.
A beautiful film and so majestic with the photos and the requiem of the people that worked under him and for him and truly loved him from their hearts because of this great intellectual man with a heart of gold. How convivial? Thanks for sharing this warm, uplifting video a truly unique person.
The interior clothing of a house is a never ending reshaping, re-vibing. A house, like the owner is aging, changing, maturing, sometimes content; until the owner goes thru a life experience, good or bad; and that alone will change the total personality of the house; the way the owner has. Burns my ass when a decorator calls the house/home owner and say's;, ... you can live in it now it's "done". A home/house is never done, never satisfied;..never settling.
A beautiful film about a brilliant man - true ... although in terms of his creations not totally my style - but I did find him utterly cute and sexy ... his charme was so different from every other person I met! Nobody did mention this in the film ... of course not ...
It just blows my mind that a person would have to actually hire/pay another person to interior design their homes? I don't get how a person not know how to decorate a home? How does one not know if a lamp should go there, or that perfect antique would extenuate the vase next to it. Where is the common sense, the artistry of it ? I guess it's due to these clueless people that keep the industry alive and kicking.
What a legacy from a man much loved by many..bringing much joy to spaces that were transformed by his magical sense of just knowing..
A beautiful film about a brilliant man.
Well said
What a beautiful tribute of words and treasures of beauty. RIP
An extraordinary man, an extraordinary life.

This vignette is beautifully done.
He was such an organic “assembler”. The rooms are beautiful and looked completely unstudied-like they naturally grew that way. Brilliant man.
I adore an unstudied look, the irony is it takes a good deal of work to achieve that!

Never met him but I found a lot of inspirations from his works
His interiors and the music used in this video are sublime!
Thanks for sharing! Robert Kime set a high standard in the world of interiors.
An amazing man. Thank you for this
A life well lived. Congratulations.
I will miss his work❤
An amazing talent such a loss 😢

Absolutely marvelous! Very moving tribute. Thank you for this!
Extraordinary connection to objects. Particularly loved the video of him with his objects from ancient Egypt and how he characterized each piece.
South Wraxall is pure genius. He was the best since Mongiardino. Thanks for this wonderful video.

When looking ing at these rooms and decor, I can’t help but thinking who has to clean these? Dusting would take days!
With all due respect, if what you think about when you see these sublime rooms is about dust, sadly these rooms are not for you.
I think the people who can afford Kime have staff, or at least cleaners!
Can folks in the United States participate in the auction?
The world is a lot poorer without the maestro.
Can I ask why the subtitles?

Utterly delicious...

I could do that, all you need is lots of money😂
Sad
If he was such a special man (and I do believe it) and people say they loved his taste and choices, why are they selling everything he collected?
