Design services for every space.

Studio Fridae offers commercial interior design for offices, retail, and workplaces; residential interior design for new builds, renovations, and concept exploration; and hospitality interior design for restaurants, cafés, hotels, and venues. Each discipline draws on the same four-phase process — Schematic Design, Design Development, Construction Documents, and Construction Administration — so the design intent stays intact from the first sketch to the final punch list.

Commercial interior design

We design offices, retail stores, and workplaces that reflect a brand's identity while supporting the people who work there. From space planning and material selection to lighting design and custom millwork, every commercial project is built around how the space will be used day to day. We coordinate with architects, contractors, and vendors to ensure the finished space matches the design intent — so what you saw in the rendering is what you walk into on move-in day.

Residential interior design

We design homes that reflect the people who live in them — not the personal taste of the designer. Whether the project is a new build, a full renovation, or an early concept exploration, we start by listening: learning about your daily routines, your aesthetic instincts, and the feeling you want a room to evoke. From there, we develop a design rooted in how you actually live, with material selections made for longevity and light treated as a primary design material.

Hospitality interior design

We design restaurants, cafés, hotels, and venues that earn their presence — spaces with something to say. From a Baja-style ceviche bar in San Bernardino to a coastal resort lobby, every hospitality project balances atmosphere, durability, and operational flow. We design custom millwork, furniture, and lighting in-house whenever an off-the-shelf piece will not do, giving each venue a one-of-a-kind character that guests remember.

Custom furniture and lighting

We design custom millwork, furniture, and lighting in-house whenever an off-the-shelf piece will not do. From a built-in banquette to a hand-forged pendant, each piece is tailored to the space and crafted with attention to material, proportion, and light. This in-house capability is what lets us give every project a one-of-a-kind character that off-the-shelf furnishings simply cannot match. We welcome standalone furniture and lighting commissions as well as full-scope interior design projects.

A limited practice, a global reach

We take on a limited number of projects each year so every space receives the attention it deserves. Based in Southern California, we work with clients across the United States and around the world — traveling on-site wherever a project calls us. Whether you are building from the ground up, renovating an existing space, or simply exploring an idea, we would be delighted to hear what you have in mind.

Our four-phase design process

Every project moves through four phases: Schematic Design, Design Development, Construction Documents, and Construction Administration. In Schematic Design, we consult with the client, visit the site, and develop a mood board and color palette. During Design Development, we refine material selections, lighting, and custom millwork through detailed drawings and 3D renderings. In Construction Documents, we produce the complete technical drawing set that ensures every contractor and vendor executes with precision. Through Construction Administration, we stay on site — reviewing submittals, answering RFIs, and coordinating trades — to protect the design intent from groundbreaking to completion.

Material honesty

We let materials be what they are. Oak reads as oak, plaster reads as plaster, and brass patinas over time rather than fighting the aging process. This honesty gives a room depth and warmth that cannot be achieved with imitations. Every material selection is made with longevity in mind — not just how it looks on install day, but how it ages over the years a client will live with it. We treat light — both natural and artificial — as a primary design material, considering where it enters a room and how it changes through the day early in schematic design.
