Rigby & Rigby: Great British Brands 2024

‘Rigby & Rigby is an award winning multi-discplinary design and delivery studio based in London and working internationally. The company has a reputation for developing unrivalled residences, private family offices, hotels & commercial spaces. Through our turnkey project solution, we give precious time back to clients – they invest as much or as little time as they wish into a project. Our six departments create a design and delivery ecosystem that interlocks and streamlines the process; a specialist team then delivers the project. This “one-stop shop” solution averages 20 percent time-savings by overlapping work-stages.

Our company vision has brought all services in-house, giving full control on quality, cost & time. We can run projects fast without compromising quality; and we have more time to research and develop the design and technology at the forefront of our practice. Our team shares articles on diverse topics – car galleries, wine-rooms, feng shui – which improve our knowledge base to be reinvested into projects.

We embrace technology and efficiency including AI, from our intelligent “smart” server to designing custom furniture, sculpture and artwork. Human input and guidance can dictate how AI technology delivers creative results with unanticipated AI magic, and we’re looking forward to the future as AI becomes more integrated, eg automate tasks like siting electrical sockets and switches in a building.. AI also assists storytelling at the heart of each project. Can’t find the right image to capture a feeling? Generate it through AI. Establishing a project concept from the start, we refer to this narrative throughout; the concept gives context, combining the client, the building and the desired aspiration, informing each design decision, from room layout to custom artwork.

Our business is built on relationships and serving people. We harness technology for efficiency and to complement our client and developer services. Our whole team has the finesse and confidence to deliver great service, impressive design, a precise build and reliable aftercare.’

James Ashfield, Studio Director of Interior Design

What I’ve Learnt…

Work with team players who care, with a strong work ethic and attitude.
Drive and patience are key. Be flexible, advance, review, absorb learnings, improve processes and celebrate success.
‘Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication,’ said Leonardo Da Vinci. Simple, refined, well-executed design is the foundation for beautiful and luxurious interiors.
