Joy is at the heart of our Design Studio. Step into one of our spaces and you are immediately greeted by colour, pattern and personality, all balanced with elegance. Design is not just about creating beautiful rooms; it is about evoking a feeling, a spark of delight that makes guests smile and feel at home.
One of the ways joy shines through is in the daring use of pattern and colour. Florals meet geometrics, stripes play with abstracts, and bold palettes sing in harmony. These unexpected pairings create a sense of playfulness, as though the room itself has a sense of humour and charm. There is always a moment of discovery, a fabric or wallpaper you may not have noticed at first glance suddenly coming alive in dialogue with the rest of the room.
Wit is another hallmark of this approach. Whether it is a quirky embroidered headboard, a piece of artwork that makes you look twice, or the Bright Cloudy Robin Chandelier in Suite 809 at the Crosby Street Hotel, there is always something designed to surprise and intrigue. This layering of imaginative detail encourages guests to pause, look closer and connect with their surroundings. It makes interiors feel more like stories than static spaces, with each element chosen to spark curiosity.
But joy in design extends beyond the visual. A joyful space also makes you feel comfortable, welcome and uplifted. These interiors are warm and deeply human, celebrating craftsmanship and storytelling. Bespoke furniture, hand-blocked fabrics and ceramics made by local makers bring authenticity and soul, grounding the design in something tangible and personal.
Designing for joy is not about perfection; it is about character. It is about creating rooms that feel alive, where every corner has something to discover, and where guests leave with a sense of delight. In our interiors, joy is woven quite literally into the fabric of every detail, ensuring that each space leaves a lasting impression filled with wit, charm and creativity.
