About Studio Atkinson


Studio Atkinson

Studio Atkinson is a British design studio working across interiors and product, united by a shared belief in warmth, integrity and enduring design. Founded by Susie Atkinson, the studio brings together years of experience, a deep understanding of how people live, and a commitment to creating work that feels personal, considered and made to stand the test of time.

At the heart of the studio is Susie Atkinson Interiors, the interiors practice where ideas are explored through lived-in spaces and long-term client relationships. Projects are shaped by a close consideration of how people live, with an emphasis on atmosphere, materiality and proportion. Interiors are layered gradually, allowing rooms to evolve over time and feel grounded, calm and full of meaning. Traditional techniques and familiar forms sit comfortably alongside contemporary thinking, creating spaces that feel both timeless and individual.

Alongside the interiors practice sits Studio Atkinson Product, an extension of the same design sensibility. The collection is designed in house under Susie’s creative direction and informed by years of interiors experience. Some pieces emerge from project-led thinking, others from instinct, curiosity or a desire to refine a particular silhouette. All are developed with clarity and care, designed to be elegant, distinctive and to endure beautifully across a variety of settings.

While the two practices operate differently, they are deeply connected. Interiors offers an immersive and collaborative design journey. Product provides a more direct way into the Studio Atkinson world, allowing clients and customers to engage with the studio’s aesthetic through individual pieces. Both speak to the same audience and share the same level of ambition.

Studio Atkinson is a family business, led by Susie’s daughter Lara alongside a close-knit team and a network of skilled designers and makers, with Susie overseeing the creative direction of the studio. This generational approach brings continuity and care, ensuring the studio’s values and way of working are carried forward while allowing the business to evolve.

Across both interiors and product, the studio works closely with trusted British craftspeople and specialist workshops. Craft, skill and provenance are fundamental, not as embellishment, but as the foundation of quality. Natural materials, honest construction and thoughtful detail underpin every decision.

Whether designing a complete interior or a single object, Studio Atkinson creates work that is welcoming, quietly confident and intended to endure. Pieces and spaces are designed to be chosen carefully, lived with for a long time, and to become an inherent part of the life built around them.
