The studio

Twelve people,
one sensibility.

Architects, designers and a former cabinet-maker, working from a converted print shop in the Marais.

Approach

We design the feeling first, the furniture last.

Every commission starts with time on site — noting where morning light falls, how sound travels, where people naturally pause. Only then do we draw. We take on six to eight projects a year so a partner leads each one personally, from concept to installation day.

How a project unfolds

  1. Listen

    Site visits, interviews and a written brief we agree on together.

  2. Compose

    Concept, plans and a material library you can hold in your hands.

  3. Detail

    Joinery, lighting and every specification drawn to the millimetre.

  4. Install

    We manage the trades and style the final rooms, down to the flowers.
