Pernille Lind, MA. Spatial Design, The Royal Danish Academy. BA (Hons) Design for Branded Spaces, London College of Communication, University of the Arts London.
With over 15 years of industry experience in hospitality and residential design, Pernille has worked with some of the most renowned names in London, including Anouska Hempel Design, Conran + Partners, and Soho House Co. Upon setting up her first company with partner Richy Almond, under the name Lind + Almond, they won ‘Renovation & Restoration’ and ‘Hotel of the Year’ at the AHEAD Europe Awards 2018 for their inaugural project, Hotel Sanders, in Copenhagen. Since then, her partnership with Almond has continued under their joint venture, where a focus on hospitality and concept-driven projects lies at the heart of their creative endeavours.
Under her namesake company, Pernille established this to pursue her personal passion for creating inviting and atmospheric homes for those who wish to be influenced by her distinctive and creative approach, which blends Scandinavian design aesthetics with a touch of her Asian sensibility. This creative language stems from her upbringing in a family that valued crafted designs and from her experiences growing up while travelling the world. Her grandfather ran a family workshop upholstering furniture and supplying decorative materials; her father, an engineer, taught her about the art of sculpture through bridges and rhythmic structures; and her mother, who owned two antique shops in Bangkok, instilled in her an appreciation for objects with a story.
Pernille possesses a natural intuition and sensibility that enable her to understand the briefs and aspirations of her clients and projects. She leads her team through all phases of the design process, infusing each project with her distinctive style.
Established in 2018, Pernille Lind Studio has built an impressive portfolio spanning residential and commercial projects, from listed buildings to new builds, luxury developments, and commercial properties. Our completed projects extend across the US, Asia, and various locations in Europe.
Pernille and her team design every aspect of interior architecture, bespoke joinery, furnishings sourcing, and final styling. While the studio’s style draws from Pernille’s Scandinavian and Asian background, it is also informed by a keen attention to context and historical details, ensuring that each project is infused with unique character and depth.
At the core of our approach is a personable and practical hands-on service, supporting our clients—often navigating new territory—to achieve their aspirations and ensure the success of every project.
We specialise in designing layouts and optimising spaces through careful analysis of flow, function, and construction.
Our projects often commence with an existing building that requires complete renovation, or involve new builds. Collaborating closely with our clients, project architects, and contractors, we create spaces that align perfectly with project briefs. The interior architecture serves as both the foundation and backdrop for our interior schemes, whilst meticulous attention to finer details enhances the overall design.
We strive to create timeless interiors by understanding the locality and context. This awareness allows us to anchor our designs within their environment, reflecting the unique character and heritage of each property.
Our process is straightforward; it’s holistic and collaborative. We believe that the best results emerge from a collective effort, where ideas can be freely exchanged and developed. However, to achieve a high level of quality and functionality, we work methodically to evaluate the practicalities of each space, with a strong emphasis on attention to detail and feasibility.
We are imaginative yet practical designers who love to explore new materials and broaden our knowledge. Our curiosity drives us to push the boundaries of creativity while maintaining a grounded approach to functionality.
We place great importance on the furniture and joinery pieces we select or design, ensuring that they are not only well-crafted and aesthetically pleasing but also appropriately styled for their context. Central to our design ethos is collaboration with local makers, which allows us to support local businesses and infuse our projects with authenticity and character.
