STUDIO ESE

is a design studio curating atmosphere through aesthetic, sound, and space. We create subtle experiences that linger, and spaces that invite stillness.

Based between London and Tokyo, and with our feet in the Mediterranean, we work worldwide for people and brands that value craft, tradition, and presence.

story of ESE

A collaborative project between Eduardo G.I. and Aya Marino, Studio ESE is the result of a merging of worlds and disciplines. From design to project management, and fueled by the same values and vision, ESE is a platform for all their creative pursuits. 

We are Studio Ese, a two-person practice working at the intersection of design and contemplative ritual. Eduardo is a graphic designer working in visual identity; Aya is an astrologer and tea practitioner working under Moon and Soma. Together we're building a studio around slow, intentional projects that sit between built space, sound, and ceremony - currently developing three threads: SALAS (teahouse design), SOMOS (ambient listening sessions), and Sirius Travel a boutique agency for trips built around culture and ways of living, not itineraries).

  • STUDIO ESE は、美学、音、そして空間を通じて、独自の「空気感」を丁寧に創り上げるデザインスタジオです。 私たちは、余韻が心に残るような繊細な体験と、静けさを呼び込む空間を生み出します。 ロンドン、東京、そして地中海を拠点に、クラフトマンシップ、伝統、そして「今、ここにあること」の価値を重んじる人々やブランドのために、世界中で活動しています。

    third space

    For hotels, restaurants, galleries, spas, and cultural venues — a chashitsu as a destination in its own right. A space that slows guests down, sets you apart, and offers something no other interior can: a room that has been finetuned over centuries specifically to produce a particular quality of presence.

    We work with architects, interior designers, and clients directly.

    Home
    residential conversions or extensions

    An existing room, or a new extension, transformed into a chashitsu. The proportions, materials, and joinery are designed from scratch — the result is not a renovation but a new room with its own internal logic, sitting quietly within the fabric of a home.

    Suitable for both period and contemporary properties.

    garden
    standalone teahouse

    A standalone structure, set apart from the main building — reached by a roji path through a considered landscape. The most complete expression of the form: its own threshold, its own silence, its own world. Built for private residences and estates where the garden can become part of the architecture itself.

    Every project is designed in Japan and constructed to order.
