Interior Designer, Commercial & Creative
Mid-weight | London | Interior design studio
- Salary: £40,000
- Location: London
- Working pattern: Studio-based (to confirm)
- Software: AutoCAD, Adobe Creative Suite, SketchUp, and Cinema 4D
- Sector: Commercial interiors, with a strong retail and hospitality focus
About the studio
This is one of those studios that has quietly been shaping some of the most talked-about interiors of the last few decades, without ever feeling the need to shout about it. Founded in the late nineties and now approaching thirty years in the game, it has grown from a single London base into an international practice with offices across three continents. The work is unapologetically luxury, and the craft behind it is the real thing rather than a marketing line.
Their portfolio is genuinely broad: private residences, large-scale mixed-use developments, hospitality destinations, and the odd yacht and private jet when the mood takes them. Retail, though, is where they have made a serious name for themselves. We are talking flagship stores for some of the biggest names in fashion, the kind of projects that pick up best-in-class store design awards on a fairly regular basis. If you have ever walked into a beautifully considered luxury store and thought about how it was put together, there is a decent chance you have already met their work.
Culturally, this is a place that cares about the details other people skip, from the emotional pull of a space to the exact way a material catches the light. It is collaborative, ambitious, and led by people who still get genuinely excited about design. If you want your work to be seen, used, and remembered, this is a good room to be in.
About the role
We are looking for a mid-weight Interior Designer to join the studio and take real ownership of commercial projects, with retail front and centre. This is a role for someone who is equally happy sketching out a bold early concept and rolling their sleeves up to coordinate the technical detail that makes it buildable. You will be trusted to carry projects through the full journey, from first idea to detailed design, and to hold your deadlines while you do it.
It is a good moment to come in. The studio has a strong pipeline of high-profile commercial and retail work, so there is plenty to get stuck into, and enough autonomy that you will feel the difference your decisions make. You will be working alongside experienced designers, clients, and consultants, which is exactly the environment a mid-weight designer wants when they are looking to sharpen their craft and grow into the next thing.
They want someone who is genuinely commercially minded as well as creative, the kind of designer who understands that a retail space has a job to do and finds the interesting problem in that rather than the constraint. If that sounds like you, keep reading.
Your days will look something like this…
- Developing design concepts from first sketch through to detailed, coordinated design
- Turning ideas into technical packages that are ready to be built, not just admired
- Space planning commercial and retail environments with an eye on both flow and feeling
- Producing high-quality visuals, layouts, and client presentations that do the work justice
- Selecting materials, finishes, and detailing that hold up to close inspection
- Working closely with clients, consultants, and multidisciplinary teams to keep everyone aligned
- Keeping projects on programme and on brief, and flagging early when something needs a rethink
- Bringing a commercial head to creative decisions, so the finished space performs as well as it looks
You might be our perfect match if…
- You have proven experience in commercial interior design, ideally within retail environments (this one is essential)
- You can develop a concept all the way through to a coordinated technical package on your own steam
- You are fluent in AutoCAD, Adobe Creative Suite, SketchUp, and Cinema 4D (all four are essential here)
- Your space planning and presentation skills genuinely stand out
- You have a real understanding of materials, finishes, and construction detailing
- You are confident and easy to work with across clients, consultants, and wider teams
- You are organised, communicative, and calm about deadlines rather than allergic to them
- A background in hospitality or wider commercial interiors alongside retail would be a lovely bonus
Why this one…
- You would be joining an award-winning studio with a serious reputation in luxury retail design
- The work is high-profile, varied, and the kind that looks good in any portfolio
- Real ownership of projects from concept to detail, with the autonomy to match
- A collaborative, design-led team that still gets excited about the craft
- An international practice, so there is genuine scope to grow rather than plateau
