About

Our vision

We develop, design and realise innovative interiors in consultation with our ambitious clients. We act as a partner who offers constructive criticism and remains involved throughout the design and construction process. Concept and functionality go hand in hand. Our results are thoughtfully designed interiors, tailored to the people who use them on a daily basis.

Our office

We call the concept of our own office design “Arsenale”, referring to the old buildings in Venice that form the perfect backdrop for the art and architecture exhibitions that are organised there every year. That is the reason we have given the existing warehouse space a rough and authentic look. The walls and made-to-measure furniture stand separate from the industrial space and each has its own story in terms of form and use of materials. Light fittings are designed as loose sculptures in the space.

Circularity, acoustics, functionality and technology have been approached in an innovative way for our own office design.

Our team

In our view, a good working relationship is at the root of every successful project. In the first place with our clients, contractors and suppliers. Within our team, teamwork is extremely important: a good atmosphere combined with a healthy work ethic is our key to realising successful projects.
