THIS IS US
IN SEARCH OF A BEGINNING
It begins with the sound of choppy waves across the bay, the wind scouring the tops of breakers as they crash against the shore and the subtle taste and scent of salt in the chill of an early autumn air. This is about as far away from the world in which we all met and yet everything about the new world which now binds us.
In a world of disconnect, where technology makes excuses for not interacting with each other anymore, we like to create environments that helps us all to feel something, whether experiencing that alone or shared with many. Having considered every single nuance, from aesthetic to smell, sound, tactility and even taste, we look to achieve a sensual experience for the sentient beings we all are. And it is the desire to design in this way that leads us to be continuously curious about life. To note, watch, see and experience - cultivating spaces which bring us meaning and joy. Our environments have the ability to change our moods, to comfort and protect us or to leave room for creative thought and expansion in a minimal void.
At the very best, we believe good design to have a soul.

WHO WE ARE
Award winning designers, so much more motivated by the work we do and the effects we have than by our interest in self glory. And thus we remain semi hidden because who we are shouldn’t be as important as what we do. We build dreams and aspirations, we sell ideas, we create stories for you to take over and pass on and we never design without meaning, in fact we give meaning to everything we design.
We are an elite group of like minded individuals who all posses something unique to them and which, when melded together, creates an impressive, coherent whole.

FIONA, the “nose”
Passionate about all aspects of design, Fiona loves to squeeze every last drop of meaningfulness into everything she chooses to do. Synonymous with the term 'Lifestyle', having set up her Consultancy in 2000 and after winning multiple design awards, her Architectural Design practice still thrives today. Standing on the edge of a shore, sea spray in her hair and her distant Nordic roots in mind - this is where it all began. Founder and CEO, hers is the nose we choose to follow |
JAMIE, a “lens” on life
Standing in a fully white room with no edges, ‘apparently’ no ceiling, walls or even a floor is where Jamie has spent so much of his professional life. From Harry Potter animals, to the precision shots of fine jewellery for some of the worlds most prestigious advertising campaigns. The virtue of patience is never more clear, nor the power of vision, when witnessing one of Jamie’s most impressive shoots. Photographer, seeing with clarity in an otherwise chaotic world |
ANNA, the “taste” maker
It has always been said in the five years of sharing fika with Anna, that hers is the taste of perfection. An impeccable ability to seek the extraordinary, edit out the ordinary and effortlessly bring a sense of luxury and style to all that she does. She is living proof that Scandinavian Design is not just about where we grow up, but how we think, the things we value and our approach to life in general. Designer, authentically Swedish, a true taste maker of design |
CLAYTON, an “ear” to the ground
You might think that being advocates of slow living, simplicity, being at one with nature, the great outdoors and all things Scandinavian, might mean technology and social media would take a back seat. And to some scandi brands out there, it does. For us, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Sharing our world visually, is everything we are about. Browsing and having access to beautiful imagery can transform lives into a more gratifying, pleasant and happy place to be. Clay has the ability to listen to what you want, engage with and influence choices in a wonderfully convivial way Nathan Williams would be proud to see. Media and Technology, purveyor of societys' voice, prince among men |
JANE, everything she “touches” turns to gold
There is little about branding and design Jane doesn’t know, and yet her modesty shares the quiet voice and soft tones usually associated with Scandinavia. Her experience spans decades and her design is both innovative and timeless. A great attention to detail means everyone is kept on the straight and narrow. For this and so much more, it is our great honour that Jane has been such an instrumental part of bringing Scandibøx to life. We have learnt much over the years of working with her, both in design and her ability to master the balance of life and we strive one day to live the philosophy almost as well as she does. Brand Specialist and Designer, living the philosophy, the golden "touch" |
POLLYANNA + JOANIE, the “spirit of living"
Both relatively new members of the team, their roles were perhaps the most difficult to fill. Smart, supportive enthusiasm they bring in bucket loads, whilst still managing to remind us day after beautiful day that authentic living is a wonderful reality. Mentors and Mindfulness Masters, slow living, simplifying life, fulfilment |
EVERYONE ELSE, a sense of soul
We’re a fussy lot, so we take great care (and pride) in choosing who we want to work with as a wider extension of our team. But once chosen, we tend to forge long and loyal partnerships with our agents, logistics and delivery partners, printers, suppliers, manufacturers and makers. As for our growing in-house team, we choose diversity bonded by a common goal - to live authentically, consciously, with purpose and meaning, to recognise beauty in the ‘everyday’ and an understanding that great design engages the senses and is the embodiment of soul.
