The process begins with a personal encounter, a conversation that begins to weave the project’s narrative and refine the initial vision, followed by an exploration of the space itself. History, context and environment guide the design, with storytelling at the heart of the creative process.
Flora Byk, the principal and visionary behind this approach, began her career in furniture design before expanding into interiors. She often describes her creations as “architectural objects”, a perspective shaped by her early experiences in her father’s cabinetmaking workshop.
Flora Byk draws inspiration from the rich heritage of past centuries, blending a profound respect for history with a contemporary vision. This fusion results in works that not only resonate with the present but also honor the past creating a bridge between different eras, making each project timeless and unique.
The challenge lies in balancing harmony with functionality thereby ensuring that each space is as practical and human as it is visually compelling. The studio is committed to transcending fleeting trends by immersing itself in a deep understanding of materials. Close collaboration with artisans enhances this creative process, integrating traditional craftsmanship with innovative design.
