Freehand Studio

At Freehand Studio, design begins with a thought - How will our design solution add value to the end user's life? Followed by, What would we like the objects or spaces to say at first glance? This sets out the broad path a project takes and informs many choices made along the way - of layouts that are efficient, shapes that invite the eye to explore, of materials that satisfy touch, or even a single, clever-little feature that brings joy to its everyday use. Beneath the surface, thorough attention is given to technical objectives by having close dialogue with engineering and manufacturing entities involved from the onset. We encourage our clients and team members to resist cosmetic changes and find long term solutions, to look beyond bought-out solutions and let the design sensibility influence daily experiences along with addressing the project's broad scheme of things like logistics, investments, and timelines. We indulge ourselves in traditional architecture, and local crafts when presented with the opportunity. Wherever possible, our approach is hands-on, encouraged by a strong DIY spirit and with a pursuit to design spaces and objects that are first desirable to ourselves.
