With a list of acclaimed design projects in the UK and internationally including Kol, Darjeeling Express, MilkBeach Soho, Casa do Frango and Kudu; each concept demonstrates the studio’s refined understanding of materiality, design
languages and contemporary art and crafts with projects also including bespoke furniture and lighting designed in-house.
