ABOUT 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 Creative Director Susie Atkinson, the studio creates furniture, lighting, textiles and homeware designed to bring comfort, character and longevity to everyday living. Every piece is shaped by years of interiors experience and a deep understanding of proportion, material and detail.

Working closely with skilled British makers and specialist workshops, we create products that are thoughtful, distinctive and built to endure. As a growing family business, led day to day by Susie’s daughter Lara alongside a close knit team, we value collaboration, curiosity and a hands-on approach to everything we do.

Our work is rooted in British craft, material integrity and the belief that the best pieces are the ones chosen carefully, lived with for years and valued over time.
