Waldo Works is recognised for its modern British design output and has worked with inspirational individuals and companies; changing derelict spaces into elegant apartments or translating a brand’s identity into an engaging physical environment. Waldo Works tries to connect its work to the heritage of a place while remaining tied to the present.

Hyde Park Flat

Waldo Works Studio remodelled this penthouse flat overlooking the park, to create a series of rich rooms for a well travelled woman. Recollection of smart apartments in New York formed the basis of her aspirations. Intricate contemporary detailing features alongside luxurious materials.

Kensington Gardens

The Interior Design of a large property overlooking a square in Notting Hill. Working with MMM Architects and enthusiastic clients, the house was to be filled with a burgeoning art collection. The interiors reflect the couples love for both contemporary and old master works, as well as particular interest in the ‘Bloomsbury’ period.

Selfridges International Services

A multi-million pound investment, and part of the architectural restoration of the Neo Classical building, the department tripled in size and now occupies 16,000 sq ft of prime retail space. Set above the main entrance to the store and the iconic Queen of Time clock, the space houses a series of halls, lounges, dedicated VIP areas, libraries, a theatre Desk, a Mac bar and Faith Room.

Smythson

Waldo Works were asked to completely redesign the physical environment of this iconic British brand. They worked within the listed interior with highly contemporary insertions. They developed highly contemporary insertions to function with the listed interior. The shop was expanded and rooms became departments. The diary wall forms the focus of the main space, reimagined in London fog grey with blue and gold display tables punctuating the space in front. The interiors and fittings palettes are based on grainy images of prewar houses in Mayfair. A Danny Chadwick mobile is installed in the nile blue papered bespoke stationery room.

PPQ

Cutting edge fashion label PPQ looked to create a flagship store on Conduit Street. Waldo Works designed an interior to mirror the wit and elegance shown in the clothes. Formed from a palette of materials that we affectionately call ‘Margaret Thatcher Modernism’, the shop is a strictly structured set of rooms in blue/black lacquer and brass detailing.

The Studio’s work is featured consistently in leading publications, including World of Interiors, Elle Decoration, Wallpaper* and others; And now, it features in the first edition of Interior Design Portfolio.
