Which company did the Dragon's Den entrepreneur Kelly Hoppen found before becoming an investor on the BBC programme?

The story behind the answer

Kelly Hoppen founded Kelly Hoppen Interiors before becoming an investor on the BBC programme Dragon's Den.

Hoppen is a British interior designer whose style became associated with a restrained, neutral design language and a blend of Eastern and Western influences. Her company, Kelly Hoppen Interiors, handled residential and commercial interior-design work and helped establish her as a major design entrepreneur.

She joined Dragon's Den as an investor in 2013. Her professional background gave the panel expertise in design, luxury products, branding and the presentation of physical spaces, complementing Dragons from finance, retail and technology.

Kelly Hoppen Interiors should not be confused with a product brand pitched by another contestant. It is the design business founded by Hoppen herself, while Dragon's Den has featured many unrelated companies seeking investment from the panel.
