How we sketch intention.

Natural materials don’t whisper by accident. Our palette - stone, oak, felt, plaster - was built to recede, allowing the architecture to lead.

In these early sketches, you see the counterpoint: a sculptural headboard breaks the calm.

Felt wardrobes become the room’s structural heartbeat. Each material choice shapes how light, sound, and presence move through the space.

The glazed oak lantern staircase in our Notting Hill project was the vertical spine of the house.

One of signature, hero moments, this is at once functional sculpture and architectural connective tissue, threading five floors into a single gesture.

At every level, our work was to ensure the interiors rose to meet it.

For this Notting Hill project, we used one of ’s signature prints in two ways.

We stretched it across velvet upholstery and printed onto wallpaper, so that a single pattern creates two different surfaces, two different moods, and a dialogue between them that runs through the room.

This is very much in the spirit of Notting Hill, a neighbourhood that has always known how to hold tradition and energy in the same room.

What if a kitchen could be two things at once?

For this Notting Hill family, it needed to be everything - functional, hidden, open, intimate. A space that breathes with the life around it.

We borrowed space, added layers, and Let doors do the talking. One moment: a fully equipped kitchen. Next moment: invisible.

Kitchen gurus took the design intent and made it sing. Quietly, yet dramatically.

We are delighted to announce that the Chanterelle collection of low tables, designed by Staffan Tollgård and Filippo Castellani for has been awarded the 2026 in the Furniture category, recognising excellence in design within the British furnishing industry.

Inspired by a walk through the woods, Chanterelle is a study in balance and restraint: slender anthracite ash frames support generous fumé glass tops, their structure recalling both the upward reach of branches and the sculptural forms found on the forest floor. Three sizes, one quiet idea.

During , Staffan was presented with the award at the official ceremony - a proud and memorable moment for all of us.

An edit for the smaller room, the borrowed corner and the in-between space.

Each desk makes a case that compact needn’t mean compromised - from a 1960s Scandinavian original to a contemporary piece built to order.

The right one tends to recognise its owner.

A home should sound like the people inside it.

For us, that means designing around what a client already loves, and in this Knightsbridge apartment, the heart of the project was a collection of contemporary artworks that pulse with colour and energy.

The bones of the building are grand and quietly statuesque, so the reception rooms needed a backdrop with depth but no noise.

Textured wallpaper runs through the key spaces, soft and timeless, settling the rooms into a single mood. Against that calm, the art can really sing.

We are delighted to be featured in , which steps inside the bathroom Staffan and Monique designed for their dream home.

The palette runs from Ceppo di Gre Dekton by to ’s gloss green tiles for , anchored by the speckled green ceramic WC from and a lava stone basin and bath by .

We wanted a space where every piece is curvaceous, tactile and fun, yet the overall impact is sophisticated. Bathrooms can often suffer from a lack of warmth and fun, and we wanted to create a room that felt energising and inspiring.

A big thanks to the team at for the wonderful feature ✨

Precision meets warmth.

This five-storey Notting Hill Victorian posed a beautiful question: how do you make architectural rigour feel like home?

created the vision - a glazed oak lantern, sculptural staircase, soaring library. Our role was to listen, honour, and add the texture that brings it to life.

The result: a space where every detail belongs, and architecture and intimacy dance together. Swipe to witness transformation.
