Studio Found

What Studio Found does

Studio Found is a London-based hospitality interior design studio founded by Ed Plumb in 2017, operating with a team of 1-10 people. The firm provides concept-to-completion design services spanning restaurant interior design, bar interior design, interior styling, and architectural/technical design, with an explicit specialism in creating hospitality venues — restaurants, bars, cafés, and related food-and-beverage spaces — that balance operational functionality with customer-facing aesthetic quality.

The company serves a dual client base: independent restaurateurs and chefs seeking distinctive, characterful spaces (Honey & Co, Robin Gill's Bottle & Rye, Wildflowers by Aaron Potter and Laura Hart) and established restaurant groups running multi-location portfolios (The Woodhead Group, Caprice Holdings, Incipio Group). It has also extended selectively into adjacent verticals — retail shop-in-shop for Fiskars' Wedgwood, Waterford, and Royal Copenhagen at Harrods, and community/social-enterprise work for Old Spike Roastery. Press coverage in the Financial Times, The Guardian, The Times, Design Week, and Mix Interiors, plus a Mixology Awards win for The Libertine, support a premium positioning within the London hospitality design niche.

Studio Found operates a project-based professional services model with custom, quote-based pricing tied to scope, size, and complexity. There are no publicly disclosed fees or standard rate cards; projects are delivered under multi-year contractual relationships where relevant. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with lead flow generated primarily through referrals and repeat commissions, supplemented by earned media and a portfolio-driven website. The studio maintains no disclosed outside investors, subsidiaries, or parent entities.
