We wanted to share some progress images from The Rug Company on the production of a bespoke feature rug for a new store which will be opening in Japan later in the summer.

Our Grade II Listed building basement project in Hampstead is awaiting its new glazed conservatory and restoration of the walled garden. Work on the interior is progressing very well; the owner has chosen some fabulous bathroom finishes and the historic vaulted roof is looking magnificent!

First sneak look at the new Malone Soulier space in Shoe Heaven at Harrods in Knightsbridge. We will share more later..

In the new Printemps Doha which represents the next generation of department stores, is the Manolo Blahnik space which is a design that consists of a complex array of vertical prisms with the downward protrusions resembling stalactite rock formations. This is completed with bespoke furniture: sculptural rock side tables, a marbled rug and modernist sofa and armchairs.

We're delighted to see a new Manolo Blahnik location open in Japan. Designed by Nick Leith-Smith, the store is located in Kobe Hankyu, in the luxury department store. Building on the distinctive brand's concept for this region, the space juxtaposes clinical stainless steel and aluminum finishes with colourful, iconic furniture pieces inspired by Walter Gropius and his Bauhaus office.

Happy New Year! The studio are raring to go at the start of 2023 on a range of exciting projects that are currently on our drawing boards and on site, including a new luxury retail store in Doha and a new build manor house in Surrey. Check back soon or watch out for our studio newsletters for more info.

The studio is currently developing an exciting design proposal, featuring a roof terrace, Juliet balconies and a luxurious en-suite with Italian shower for this period property in Battersea.
