The problem
What we built
We built a pared-back, image-led site with its navigation tucked into a full-screen menu. The home page opens with the studio's name, a portrait of the founder and the words Design Studio, then features two pieces of work: FLOW, the glass lighting installation made with Lasvit and shown at Downtown Design in Dubai, and Toplum Cafe & Restaurant in Dubai, which links to its own project page. An Inspirations strip leads to an Instagram page.
The About page sets out Vera Dieckmann's career, the studio's move from Hong Kong to a second studio in Dubai, its product collaborations and later projects, while the Philosophy page states the studio's approach in a few lines. The Toplum project has a page of its own describing the brief and its Mediterranean-inspired, geometric concept. The Contact page gives the Al Barsha studio address, phone and email with a short form for name, email and message, and every page footer adds a mailing-list sign-up and links to LinkedIn and Instagram.
What it delivers
