Study Styling

Home office style

This study edit by designer Christian Bense is inspired by home offices he has designed in traditional London homes, bringing together mid-century sensibility with classic period charm. With rich materials and subtle pattern, the space is designed to be both functional and restful; a place for work, reading or meeting. It is home office style that feels considered, enduring, and quietly luxurious.

Form and Feeling

At the heart of the room is the “Brenne” Bean-Shaped Desk by Christiane Lemieux, a sculptural piece in burl wood that offers a soft, ergonomic shape, and would work equally well as a desk, console or vanity. On the wall, Along the Rife by Greg Becker, an atmospheric acrylic on panel, depicts a gentle, quiet scene. Together, they evoke a sense of calm and intention, setting the tone for focused work and contemplation

A curved, modern bench with four cylindrical legs, all covered in a light brown, speckled surface resembling bread or pita, set against a plain grey floor and textured white wall.

Measured Details

The Dialogo Chair by Tobia Scarpa offers a handsome counterpoint to the more functional desk chair; comfortable, well-crafted and modest in scale, it is well suited to a guest seat or a reading break. For a subtle dash of colour and shape, the Bubbles and Bottles Chic Mix by Pols Potten adds lightness; resting beautifully on a side table or shelf, and offering a fun punctuation to the space.
