The studio

We build interiors the way furniture is built.

Vesper & Oak began in 2011 in a converted apartment in Dhanmondi, with one carpenter on retainer and a stubborn belief that most interiors fail at the joints — literally and figuratively.

Fourteen years later we are eleven people: interior architects, a joinery detailer, a lighting designer and two site managers who live on scaffolding. We still keep a workshop bench in the office, and we still refuse projects we cannot personally supervise.

Our work is warm and quiet: oak, lime plaster, unlacquered brass, deep window seats, storage that swallows the clutter of real families. Nothing that photographs well and lives badly.

Few projects, deeply

Nine live projects maximum, each with a principal attached from survey to snagging.

Drawn to the millimetre

Joinery is documented at 1:5 and prototyped in the workshop before anything is cut.

Materials that age well

Oak, plaster, stone, unlacquered brass. Finishes chosen for year ten, not photo day.

Built by people we know

A fixed roster of carpenters, metalworkers and painters we have worked with for a decade.
