We specialise in the design of spaces for art: this is the last week to see artist David Shrigley's 'Exhibition of Old Rope' in the spaces we designed for Stephen Friedman Gallery on Cork Street. Read Eddy Frankel's **** review in the Guardian here and see all of our other gallery projects here. The practice is currently designing a new studio for David Shrigley in Brighton.

Since it was founded in 2007, the practice's studio has been in the borough of Camden with the last decade on the High Street. From next month, we will be relocating to 11 Pratt Mews, off Pratt Street. As this map from 1797 testifies, Pratt Street and Mews, named after Charles Pratt, the first Earl of Camden, are amongst the oldest streets in the area. The new studio is in a nineteenth century mews house which can be viewed on Googlemaps here.

Our recent practice monograph, Stages, is reviewed in leading UK design magazine, Creative Review. In his interview with Daniel Milroy Maher, David Kohn reflected, “I’ve learned that we’ve come a long way, more than I appreciated before seeing it laid out so comprehensively. That our output is extremely diverse, but that this is a virtue." Read the full review here.
