HAIG STUDIO CREATES SPACES THAT WORK. WITH A PARTICULAR FOCUS ON F&B AND HOSPITALITY, OUR DESIGNS ARE BOTH BEAUTIFUL AND FUNCTIONAL AND WE BELIEVE THEY CAN BE THE MAKE OR BREAK OF A BUSINESS.

GOOD DESIGN IS TANGIBLE. IT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GOOD OR BAD DAY, A SPACE THAT HUMS OR ONE THAT DOESN'T. IT LIVES IN THE FEEL OF THE MATERIALS, THE WAY LIGHT MOVES THROUGH A ROOM, THE ACOUSTICS OF A BUSY FRIDAY NIGHT. WE LEAD WITH THE INDIVIDUAL. THEIR EXPERIENCE, FROM THE MOMENT THEY WALK IN TO THE MOMENT THEY LEAVE, IS WHAT EVERYTHING IS BUILT AROUND. ABOVE ALL, WE AIM TO TRANSPORT. WHETHER THAT'S RECREATING SICILY ON STANLEY BEACH, THE HAWKER STALLS OF BANGKOK'S CHINATOWN IN CENTRAL, OR THE NORTH AFRICAN COASTLINE ON A LIVELY PEEL STREET — WE TAKE PEOPLE SOMEWHERE THEY DIDN'T EXPECT TO GO.

The Team:

Archie Haig, Founder

Archie is a British interior designer trained at the University of the Arts London, where she graduated with a first class in Interior and Spatial Design.

She began her career designing restaurants for Jamie Oliver in London before joining Big Mamma Group, where she worked as one of two designers on Circolo Populare — the Fitzrovia trattoria that the Evening Standard named the hottest restaurant in town on opening. She went on to become Head of Interior Design at Pirata Group in Hong Kong, leading a team responsible for the full creative and technical delivery of one of the city's most prolific restaurant groups.

In 2022 she founded Haig Studio. Projects have since spanned the UK, France, Germany, Austria, Iceland, China, Japan and Thailand.

Matilda de Kantzow, Head of Graphics

Matilda leads the studio's graphic design and brand work. Also UAL trained, with a background in creative strategy, brand identity and concept development, she brings a rigorous strategic lens to the visual side of every project, ensuring that what a restaurant looks like on a menu, a sign or a social feed is as considered as the room itself.

Together, we offer something most design studios can't: a fully integrated creative service where the space and the brand are built by the same team, from the same brief, with the same vision.
