Take three simple ingredients – curiosity, passion and love of life. Mix them together like a cocktail and you have found the source of our creativity! The projects on which we work demonstrate our courage in combining unusual materials, our attention to detail and our desire for exceptional quality.
We don’t follow trends – our objective is to meet our client’s specific brief – we work closely together to design a sustainable yet contemporary tailor made solution. Whether residential or commercial, we relish the opportunity to create spaces that inspire, entertain and provoke discussion. Fundamental aspects of our work include the innovative use of light and shadow to structure space and the dramatic contrast of building materials and fabrics – glossy and matt, rough and smooth, natural and pre-fabricated, heavy and delicate. We use concrete and floral wallpaper, stucco and stone, terrazzo, onyx, pollen, crystal and ceilings for video projections. With our unique combination of material, lighting and technology, we create harmony. All rooms have a soul – we find it for you!
