What 3Stories does

3Stories is a London-based creative design studio founded in 2017 that delivers integrated brand, interior, and product design services for the hospitality sector, operating from 49 Southwark Street (SE1 1RU) with 11-50 employees. Its core offering comprises three service lines — Brand Design (logo, typography, color systems, brand guidelines), Interior Design (full-service concept through completion for hotels, restaurants, bars, cafes, and retail environments), and Product Design (bespoke furniture, merchandise, packaging), underpinned by a Strategy layer for positioning, naming, and market research. The studio runs these through a proprietary three-stage process labeled Think (strategy), Make (concept and design), and Create (implementation), with on-site delivery, supplier coordination, and proficiency in SketchUp and Enscape as the technical backbone. The primary customer segment is hospitality — including hotel groups, restaurants, bars, cafes, clubs, and entertainment venues — with secondary exposure to retail/self-storage, furniture manufacturing, and corporate catering.

The client base includes tier-one international hospitality brands: Accor (Pullman global reimagination and Tribe hotel concept), IHG (Intercontinental Park Lane, Le Petit Beef Bar, Sabini's), Workshop Coffee, Hotel Indigo, The Dixon (Dominus Group), TVG Hospitality, Fulham Shore, Carl Hansen & Søn (Studio CHS furniture line), Sodexo (Nourish workplace catering), and Sweet Chick in New York City. 3Stories monetizes through project-based, quote-driven design engagements acquired via direct relationships, referrals, and industry networking, with marketing portfolio-led through its website, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Geographic delivery spans London as the hub, Edinburgh, and New York City. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding, parent company, or M&A activity in the source material.
