Four things make us unique
Our blend of creative insight & extensive international experience in styling, interior design, visual merchandising & branding.
Our commitment to maximising what’s already available before sourcing new; to incorporating re-engineered or sustainable materials & elements into everything we do.
Our clear understanding of the transformative power of beauty & style. In spaces, in life, on the human body – from a retail store makeover to a chic, updated wardrobe capsule – we believe style speaks softly but inspires deeply.
Our diverse taste & keen eye for beautiful design, culture & creativity, cohesively balanced with a strong analytical & pragmatic focus to achieve objectives.
Part magic, part science. Total creativity. All balanced by utilizing available resources & where possible - ethical, sustainable sourcing.
We believe that taking inspiration from, and respecting what we already have, is integral to our work. Our wish is to collaborate with those who carry the same ethos.
