The studio
Studio Wood is a multidisciplinary, gender equal design
team based in Bournemouth on the South Coast. We
collaborate with like-minded clients to create meaningful
products aligned with our core values and design
principles. Our multidisciplinary team is evenly split
– 50/50 for those that identify as males and females
– and we’re proud of it. An inclusive, diverse team
equips us with more empathy, fresh perspectives and
varied viewpoints.
We see morality as a moving target. Our goal as a design
studio is to consistently do the right thing. Reflecting
and reviewing this as a team at every opportunity. We
are compassionate innovators who actively encourage and
enable our clients to do the same.
Design for all
The Studio Wood aesthetic is minimal, unbiased and gender neutral. And for good reason. Our aim is to speed up the adoption of sustainable practices through innovation and design. The consistency to our aesthetic brings more people on this journey with us.
This principle also extends to our team. Gender equality is still a rare thing in industrial design. Our gender balanced, diverse team equips us with empathy and fresh perspectives.

Design by the sea
Our studio in Bournemouth is located less than a mile from the sea, providing us with a unique advantage. Our coastal location enables our team daily to take in fresh sea air, listen to the soothing sound of waves and gain inspiration from the vast expanse of the unknown, inspiring creativity in everything we do.
