“Melds the genius of traditional craftsmanship with comfort and contemporary style”

We strive for authenticity and sense of place informed by the building itself, where it sits and the people who use it.
Combining old and new without losing sight of the practicalities of modern life, our spaces possess both purpose and soul.

Attention to detail
Whether we’re designing a handmade coffee table, a whole house interior or a hospitality experience, we examine everything down to the finest detail.
We use colour, pattern and texture to add depth and create interest and surprise that lasts.
We carefully examine the flow of a room, how best it can be used, how to make it exciting and joyful. This ensures that the space is not only right for our client but right for the building itself, both now and in the future.
Sustainable by design
Sustainability lies at the heart of everything we do – we aim to tread lightly on our planet.
Each project, each relationship, each decision is based on respect for our environment, our customers, our suppliers and our creative collaborators.

We can help you with any scale of residential or commercial interiors project – from single rooms or home workspaces to whole houses, business or hospitality premises.
