Interior designer Jasmine Fisher has created a unique studio in a rented office unit in the historic Pall Mall Deposit building in Ladbroke Grove, west London. The 32sq m space showcases her love of art, craftsmanship, and materials, and is designed to support wellbeing and creativity.
Fisher, who previously worked as a barrister, negotiated the fit-out with the landlord to create a warm, layered space with muted tones and curated artworks. She explains that her goal was to create an environment that supports wellbeing and creativity, having experienced the effects of conventional, sterile office environments during her time as a lawyer.
The studio’s focal point is a large table used for client meetings and design reviews, with nearby shelves housing a materials library. Workstations are positioned along the back wall to maximize natural light from the large window, and rich colors and textures are used throughout the design.
Fisher emphasizes the importance of considering how people feel in a space and its impact on their wellbeing. She used earthy colors, such as browns and pinks, to create a sense of calm and connection to the natural world, and added bold red accents to imbue the scheme with confidence.
Fisher’s diverse cultural background, with Polynesian, Chinese, and English roots, influences her work and approach to design. She believes in supporting traditional craftsmanship and has incorporated objects sourced from artisans around the world into the studio, including Nemboro shamanic masks woven by indigenous women in the Panamanian rainforest and handwoven wall hangings from Colombia and North Africa.
These pieces bring character and soul to the space. Fisher notes that art is the starting point for her projects, and the chosen pieces are textural and layered, feeling integral to the space rather than hung on top of it. Find out more about Jasmine Fisher here.
