Our point of view
Luxury is not a style applied at the end. It is the result of decisions made well: proportion, restraint, material, craftsmanship and the way a space feels in use.
Our philosophy ↗We design interiors that feel considered rather than decorated — expressive enough to be memorable, quiet enough to live with.

Featured work
Design stories,
not just rooms.
Concept studies show the studio’s design range. Real completed projects will progressively take their place as Barney’s built portfolio grows.
Hospitality
Atmosphere is part of the architecture.
Restaurants, lounges and guest spaces have to work operationally while still creating a reason to stay. We think about sightlines, circulation, dwell time, acoustics and lighting as one system.

From private homes
to public experiences.
The same discipline applies at every scale: understand the brief, resolve the space, establish the material language and make every detail support the whole.
The studio
Personal attention.
Serious design thinking.
Bannie is an emerging interior design studio built around direct creative involvement, careful listening and a desire to make every project more resolved than the last.
That scale is an advantage: clients are not passed through layers of account management. The designer remains close to the brief, the decisions and the final result.
Inside the studio →01
Bespoke thinking
No preselected house style. The design grows from the client, context and brief.
02
Material integrity
Finishes are selected for appearance, tactility, performance and how they age.
03
Clear collaboration
Decisions are documented and clients can track milestones through the project portal.
04
End-to-end coherence
Planning, furniture, light, colour and detail are developed as one visual system.
