ABOUT US

We are a new-generation, multi-discipline, experience design studio… and if you were wondering what that actually means; well, we create brand experiences which dabble in food and drink, crafts, set design, aquatic plants, sandcastles, flower pressing, glass blowing (you get the idea) to build unique experiences, that matter. We do not believe in “one size fits all” propositions and think that good design doesn’t always have to be serious to get serious results.

We work with commercial brands to produce experiences which crescendo their marketing calendars. We love what we do and that passion shows right through the design process and into all physical touch points. We join the dots between an array of talented people to create immersive experiences, whether that’s a mailer on your doorstep, a VIP retail workshop or an all singing all dancing event! Our clients include big names such as John Lewis, Estee Lauder, Longchamp and Selfridges.
