OEO Studio
OEO Studio was founded in 2003 and is based in
Copenhagen, Denmark, with a project office in Tokyo.
OEO Studio has created award-winning designs for a
broad spectre of discerning clients, from furniture and
interiors for Michelin-starred restaurants to aspirational
objects that have earned their place in the permanent
collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum in
London, at the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design
Museum in New York and at the Musée des Arts
Décoratifs in Paris.
OEO Studio has established a distinct aesthetic that
encompasses a unified approach to retail, hospitality,
furniture-making and beyond. Each project is enhanced
by the inherent warmth of the natural materials, which
are often applied in novel and unexpected ways
inspired and framed by their cultural context to offer
a compelling sense of minimalism. Signature to the
approach at OEO Studio is their exquisite level of
bespoke design created with meticulous attention to
detail.
