STUDIO PHILOSOPHY
Studio RODA is a residential and commercial interior architecture and furniture design firm. Recognized for its warm and understated aesthetic, the studio synthesizes eclectic styles to create dynamic, functional, and authentic spaces. Each project boasts a subtly provocative appeal and unexpected details — a signature mix that reflects the core of the studio’s approach to design.
Influences span design eras, from Mid-Century Modern to French Art Deco to contemporary; disciplines, including architecture, design, and fashion; and materials, which extend from raw to polished. The studio’s projects combine this curated lens with a site’s unique context and each client’s precise desires, resulting in harmonious bespoke designs for personal residences, hospitality, and retail. Though wholly distinct, the studio’s creations share a subtle, casual elegance underscored by quality, craftsmanship, and respect for authentic design. From custom lighting to considered layouts, the team draws on their interdisciplinary backgrounds to visualize and develop every project, down to the finest detail.
“THOUGH WHOLLY DISTINCT, THE STUDIO’S CREATIONS SHARE A SUBTLE, CASUAL ELEGANCE UNDERSCORED BY QUALITY, CRAFTSMANSHIP AND RESPECT FOR AUTHENTIC DESIGN.”
