ENGLISH · ESPAÑOL

Furnishings and lighting,
designed for brands worth the myth.

An American design consultancy serving the high-end US market. Original collections for North American houses — from first sketch to production-ready specification.

Process

From brief, or from a blank sheet.

Work opens on the client’s brief — or on a blank sheet the studio fills and offers for license.

Hand sketch of a sofa design, drawn on a digital tablet

Sketch

Every design begins by hand, on a digital tablet. Intention, proportions and silhouette are settled in the drawing.

Photoreal rendering of the sofa design

Render

The drawing becomes a photoreal rendering, built in cutting-edge software — the piece in material and light before it exists.

CAD plan of a settee, dimensioned for production

CAD Plan

Approved designs are documented in full CAD — dimensions, tolerances, materials — ready for the factory floor.

Specifications leave production-ready, and the studio stays at the table through sampling, sales training, and market promotion.
