ABOUT
THE STUDIO
Design is a Conversation
Great design goes beyond aesthetics—it’s about creating environments that deeply resonate with those who experience them, from guests to the people who live and work within them. Renowned for designing distinctive and memorable projects, we are celebrated for crafting spaces that are innovative and leave lasting impressions.
With studios in London and Singapore, we specialize in designing environments that are not only functional but deeply meaningful, reflecting the unique vision of each client and their brand. Our projects span across nearly every continent, including sustainable resorts in Indonesia, restaurants in Singapore, bars in China, distilleries in Australia, and luxury hotels in London. Each of our designs is a reflection of our commitment to creating spaces that inspire, connect, and leave a lasting impact on all who experience them.
Every project begins with a conversation. Be it with a Michelin-starred or World's 50 Best chef, an innovative hotelier, a visionary restaurateur, or a brand crafting an experiential space, our process starts by listening. We delve into your story—what inspires you and defines your vision. This understanding forms the foundation of our design. For us, design transcends trends or formulas; it’s about creating authentic, purpose-driven spaces that truly resonate.
We focus on seamlessly blending creativity with functionality in every project. Our design team considers the guests experience, how they interact with the space and how it makes them feel. Every element, from the choice of textures to the play of light, is thoughtfully curated to create environments that are aestheticaly driven but also deeply engaging and meaningful.
Our approach extends beyond our desgin team to a global network of artisans and fabricators. Together, we craft custom-designed furniture, sculptural installations, and bespoke finishes that bring each project to life. These handcrafted elements ensure that no two spaces are alike and give each project its own distinctive character and soul.
We’ve designed interiors that not only serve their purpose but have become iconic in their own right. A unique story shapes each project, and it’s our role to translate that narrative into a tangible, evocative environment.
So lets have a conversation together.
