Branded experiences
We design engaging and welcoming commercial and work environments. Commercial spaces must be easy to navigate, allowing customers to intuitively understand the flow of a space. While considering work environments, we put the daily needs of the people in those locations at the centre of our design.

Design for everyday life
To create the perfect space where all elements work together, it’s best to craft made-to-measure pieces. By building the custom-made objects and furnishings ourselves, we ensure that the design is holistic and thoughtful. As a result, every piece performs both its practical function and fits the aesthetic of the space.

Saint-Pierre
The owner of an apartment at 455 rue Saint-Pierre is a long-standing customer. Like the studio, he's free of constraints and conventions. At the start of the 2000s, the space was suffering the repercussions of unfortunate renovations, obstructions, incongruous angles, a dysfunctional kitchen and a long, black, light-absorbing wall. The cure will be openness and sustainable design.
What is soothing and inspiring? How can your space be more intuitive?

Melk Coffee
Atypical, difficult space makes Melk Coffee Bar project a real design-thinking challenge, a balancing act between necessity and aesthetics.

Sarto Series
Salon is the first piece in Sarto, a series of functional, mutable seating. The concept was first developed a few years ago, at a time when the studio had neither the time, the resources nor the right partners to produce it. The series takes its name from the source that inspired modernist architect Mies Van der Roe’s famous dictum that “less is more.” The phrase comes from the 1855 poem “Andrea De Sarto “by Robert Browning. It succinctly describes the thinking behind the series.
Our Sarto series has been awarded Gold Certification at the
Grands Prix du Design!
