WAD-STUDIO
WALL-ART-DESIGN
WAD-Studio consists of a multi-disciplinary team of interior designer, graphic designer, retail agent, marketing consultant and wallpaper hanger dedicated to the highest levels of details, precision and creative expression.
We believe that research, experimentation, concept, modernity and fantasy can coexist in one space through the home decor, materials, shapes and colours. Our goal is to create experiences and feeling of home through the storytelling art for walls and interior. WAD-Studio dresses up the walls, textiles and furnitures with the custom and commercial interior prints. We present our clients limitless possibilities that reflect their identities or concepts into the unique products. We see the decorative and storytelling art as a medium to honour the history, the location or architectural space by pushing the boundaries and challenging the rules.
In addition, WAD-Studio offers wall-art and unique prints by selected printmaking artists.
