Universal Design Studio is recognised as one of the world’s most innovative creative design consultancies.  We have a distinct, multi-disciplinary approach towards the design of branded environments.  Our team of architects, interior designers and product designers are committed to creating unique, arresting, comprehensive environments with effective commercial purpose.

Universal was founded in London in 2001 by its sister company Barber Osgerby to augment their award-winning product and furniture design folio. A second studio was opened in Melbourne in 2008.

Environments by Universal go beyond the fulfillment of a functional commercial brief. What we offer is beautifully designed, expertly crafted, enduring design that has a soul.  This means designing and producing environments which support your ideas, and communicate the essence of your business perfectly.

Our experience in the design of commercial and retail environments, exhibitions and restaurants gives us an innate understanding of how to make objects resonate and create spaces with impact.

The studio is underpinned by a process of experimentation and refinement; working with physical models and mock-ups to truly explore and understand space and context.

Our multi-disciplinary approach to design is unique. With our sister company BarberOsgerby we offer expertise in architecture, interior design, furniture and product design. We have the skills to create the whole environment, from architectural envelope to custom designed furniture and fixtures.

We tailor our project teams to suit the specific requirements of your creative and functional brief. We are here to guide you through every step of the process ensuring that the end product adds value to your business and offers you, your staff and your clients, a unique and unforgettable experience.
