Awarded: AIA 2022 Restaurant Design Honorary Award | BIGSEE Interior Design Award 2021 For generations, travelers leaving Prague from Masaryk Railway Station stopped for a meal in the Imperial Restaurant before their train. The hall had seen countless departures, reunions and quick coffees, and it still carried that atmosphere when we first walked in. Our task was to bring it back to life as Masaryčka, a restaurant that works hard every day without losing the room the city remembers. Caption The restaurant occupies the ground floor of a stately station building on a busy Prague corner. Above, the facade rises in ordered rows of arched windows framed by classical cornices. At street level, a run of large arched openings lights up the... More

Found Founded is a design studio working across different scales and disciplines, from product design to furniture, spatial design, graphics and digital experiences. Its new headquarters provides a place from which the studio can continue to work and make in its own way, while establishing a new centre for what lies ahead.

The renovation of Riviera Apartment began with the desire to transform the everyday experience of a young couple through a more open, welcoming, and fluid living space. The main challenge was to strengthen the connection between the living and dining areas while preserving the privacy of the home office. The project responds to this condition through a wooden partition that becomes the main architectural element of the intervention. It organizes the social area, defines different degrees of privacy, and creates a clear transition between collective and more secluded spaces.

Gucci | Bamboo Encounters is a tribute to bamboo – an evergreen plant that seamlessly blends strength with lightness, a material rich in cultural significance, and a key medium in contemporary design. Curated and designed by 2050+, the exhibition draws inspiration from the House’s pioneering use of bamboo in the mid 1940s. Inspired by Guccio Gucci’s son’s passion for bamboo walking sticks, artisans began crafting handbags with curved bamboo handles. Initially an emblematic element of the Gucci Bamboo 1947 bag, the material went on to influence the design of a wide range of items – jewelry, textile patterns and stationery – transforming bamboo into one of the House’s most recognizable codes.

Set within the dense urban fabric of Delhi, this 1,300-square-foot residence reinterprets simplicity as an architecture of wellness and composure. The design does not pursue reduction for its own sake, but seeks clarity, spaces distilled to their most essential, tactile, and atmospheric elements.  The living room articulates the project’s ethos of composed richness. Taupe, warm beige, and earthen tones establish a grounded palette, while a grey sectional with ribbed upholstery acts as both anchor and counterpoint, combining comfort with architectural precision. Subtle contrasts emerge in the muted burgundy lounge chair and circular coffee table, while a large-scale artwork of architectural motifs deepens the spatial narrative. S... More

Beyond Beige led the project from concept through execution, overseeing spatial reconfiguration, interior design, and the sourcing and styling of all elements throughout the home. Caption The expanded footprint enables a fluid spatial narrative, balancing openness and p... More
