1508 London is an international design firm known for creating bespoke, luxury interiors and architecture. With studios across the globe, 1508 delivers exceptional spaces for private clients, property developers, and hoteliers. Their projects, spanning elite locations worldwide, reflect a timeless and innovative design approach rooted in culture, history and architectural principles, making them a top choice for high-end residential and hospitality developments.
Founded in 2010, the name “1508” originates from the idea of perfection in design. The year 1508 was when Michelangelo was commissioned to paint the Sistine Chapel ceiling, an achievement marked by his ability to draw a perfect circle by hand. This commission was a pivotal moment in the Italian Renaissance, a period in history when art and architecture flourished.
As an interior design firm, our objective is to see interior design and architecture thrive and to be at the forefront of industry innovation. Our name and logo reflect the collective nature of our company—there is no eponymous owner or figurehead. Instead, we work collaboratively, bringing together each individual’s skills, cultures, experiences, and talents in our pursuit of excellence and perfection in design.
Incorporating elements from various regions, cultural influences, and design periods, 15o8’s portfolio showcases an eclectic mix of styles that reflect a global sensibility.
The design firm’s design philosophy favours an approach derived from measured principles, inspired by history, geography, and the architectural vernacular.
Operating across four regions with eight offices, our diverse and multi-disciplinary team is equipped to tackle any project with precision and creativity. Comprising over 150 talented individuals, each team member and studio brings unique strengths and experiences.
1508 London has scoured the globe to recruit some of the greatest design talent, all of whom are able to bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to any projects we undertake. Under the guidance of four regional design principals and over eight design directors our global studios are able to deliver on our commitment to deliver exceptional spaces worldwide.
