About

Design & That Studio is a London-based interior design studio founded by interior architect Emma Shone-Sanders. With a focus on contemporary, warm, and effortlessly relaxed spaces, Emma works closely with each client to create interiors that feel both unique and deeply personal.

At the core of the studio’s philosophy is a love for well-crafted furniture and natural materials - elements that bring character and timeless appeal to every project.

The studio has a diverse portfolio of residential and commercial projects, guiding each one from concept to completion. Notable work includes the transformation of a Suffolk farmhouse and six barns into boutique guest accommodation, as well as elegant residences in Notting Hill, Hyde Park, and Belgravia. The studio has also designed luxury apartments in Mayfair and Kensington, a high-end hair salon in Chelsea, and a Michelin-starred plant-based restaurant in Shoreditch.
