Studioilse

Studioilse’s design starts with the human being at the centre. As creative directors and designers Studioilse works across brand development, concept creation, interior architecture, furniture, lighting and product design.

Studioilse is headed by Ilse Crawford, fascinated by what drives us, brings us together and ultimately makes us feel alive, this is manifested through design that can provide a frame for life.

Crawford believes design can influence the way we behave and feel. By addressing changing times and values, as well as the things that don’t change, design can shape the way we live and work. This approach is applied at all scales, from products to buildings, private to public space and is one she is developing with the next generation of designers through her work as Head of Department at the leading Design Academy Eindhoven.

Projects include the iconic designs that defined the Soho House brand, the Mathias Dahlgren restaurants at the Grand Hotel in Stockholm and award winning lighting for Wastberg.

Recent work includes the architecture and interior of an apartment block in Hong Kong, a concept store for Sergio Rossi in Rome and now The Ilse Collection for Georg Jensen launching in Milan 2012 followed by Ett Hem, a hotel in Stockholm opening this May.

Ilse is an influential author, international public speaker and has been named one of Britain’s most influential women.
