SEA'S PROJECT
We penned the interiors of tens of both production and custom yachts built by shipyards and developed one-of-a-kind projects working independently with clients on private commissions all over the world.
INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
Throughout the "Project Development" phase, we turns the best concepts into custom furniture designs according to the request of the client. We do this by distancing ourselves from typical production furniture giving life to unique pieces and decorative items.
LAND'S PROJECT
We have designed interiors that span from homes to offices, from restaurants to hotels. Whatever their style, our aim is to create environments that provide an enjoyable and intense experience to their users.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
We provide a service of "Project Management" to supervise construction and ensure its quality and consistency.Within our versatile team, a project manager follows the entire lifecycle of a project from inception to completion.
