Object & Furniture Design
For private clients, architects, interior designers, concept stores and hospitality projects.

You have a space, a brief, or an idea — and nothing off the shelf comes close. The studio designs and manufactures bespoke objects and furniture — sometimes built in-house, sometimes in collaboration with specialist artisans, always with making and designing treated as the same process. Each piece is developed from material and form simultaneously, resulting in an object that could not have come from anywhere else.

Creative Strategy & Material Concept
For brands, retailers, concept stores and commercial spaces.

Something isn't cohering — a visual identity exists but the physical world around it doesn't match, or you're starting from scratch and need someone who thinks across form, material and narrative at once. The studio translates brand values into a material and spatial language: surfaces, objects, forms and finishes that speak the same sentence. This includes developing a visual and graphic identity from the ground up, or taking an existing one and giving it a three-dimensional life — ensuring that what sits on the shelf and what surrounds it belong to the same world.

Material Research & Consultancy
For manufacturers, product designers, interior studios and brands.

You have offcuts, side streams, surplus stock or production waste with no clear next use. Or you've been working with the same materials for years and want to understand what alternatives exist. The studio finds new applications and value in what is too easily discarded, identifies circular material solutions, and advises on ecological practices — practical expertise in what materials are, where they come from, and what they can still become.
