Welcome to Studio McUtchen! I am an Interior Designer with a passion for high-end furniture.
Over the last 12 years I have been working with organizations to enable them to unpack their brand, express who they are and how they operate as a team and individually. A desire to understand how business really operate, it's important for me to find ways to uncover more of who they are as an organization, how they work, communicate & share knowledge and the tools & resources they need to perform and what they needed to succeed at work.
To ensure our workplaces are ready to face the future we require to perform with deep reflection of our purpose, brand, culture & values.
PLOUM Sofas by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec for Ligne Roset, launched in 2011.
The settees are the fruit of a great deal of research comfort. It is a combination of two materials; a stretchy covering fabric and an ultra-flexible foam. Described by the brothers as "like a ripe, voluptuous piece of fruit", offers an open welcoming and generous shape with high level of comfort.

Crono Armcair // designed in 2015 by Antonio Citterio, the visually-light but solid wood structure displays the kind of workmanship that clearly expresses FlexForm's flair for embracing the heritage of Italian cabinetmaking tradition as its own. The seat back is entirely hand-woven in a design made from cowhide cord. See dining chair version.

I was immediately drawn to this stunning chandelier in a newly built monochrome style interior in Cottesloe.
Not 1 but 3 Moooi Meshmatic chandeliers throughout... but were they? In fact they are all replicas made by the owner. Shocked or not? How do you feel about homeowners resorting to DIY to create personal style in their homes?

Classic sofa from Frederiksborg castle 1935 in Denmark. Reupholstered in linen with a collection of mid century wall lamps. Thankfully for the owners, the furniture spoke for themselves. Their subtle stories exuded through the worn leather and classic mid-century danish design. Almost as a whisper.
