Tucked away, just off a bustling south London high street, our studio lives in a Victorian arts centre that was once home to the capital’s workshop, for fixing up trains and associated industrial machinery. This special site offered us the bones upon which we could build our business, and we have loved it ever since.

The space has hugely informed who we are and what we do (as well as vice versa), and it is a rare find in London. The studio has 20-foot ceilings and large windows that overlook train tracks where you might spot a British Pullman Steamer, which we all regularly run to see. More importantly, this space still carries the energies of its former life - it's a space for fixing things, making them right, and ensuring everything is in a positive state to move forward. We have dreamt, built and thrived in this space that we gather in daily.

As the HQ and heartland of our company, our studio is designed to encourage and nurture creative thought and ideas, and to ensure a sense of collaboration and shared goals across our teams. People and pieces of furniture sit side by side, moving in rotation with our latest shoots and product development projects. Models and sketches line the shelves, remnants of past projects and soon to be realised ideas.

We have stained glass windows high on the walls of our studio. They are a curiosity in an otherwise industrial space. As the day progresses, fragments of coloured light dance delicately across the surface of the walls and floor. A delicate spiral staircase leads to the workshop downstairs. Here, dust hangs in the air, and the smell of oil and wood stain is backed by the constant hum of a sander. In the belly of our busy studio, in-progress prototypes and rough cut sections of timber lie quietly, waiting to be employed by our products.
