David Collins Studio
The beauty of being born out of time means it is impossible to be defined by an era.
David Collins Studio was founded in 1985 by David Collins and Iain Watson and is based in London. David's design style has always held his credo: customization, creativity, and doing better. A hotel, residential and retail project dedicated to creativity and inspiration. This is a globally recognized brand, a revolutionary in contemporary luxury and design.
Known for its deep interior design, David Collins combines modernity with style. Each time is a reinterpretation of the luxury of the past, each piece is deeply rooted in the local native style. David is an inspiring leader, and the designers gathered around him are from deep and diverse talents. Although he has passed away, his subtle vision continues to influence contemporary aesthetics.
But it is heartbreaking that the design master died in London on July 17, 2013 after a brief fight against skin cancer. The studio is currently led by founder and CEO Iain Watson. Following the untimely death of David Collins, The David Collins Foundation was created to commemorate him, his work, his passion for the arts, and his love of beauty. The Foundation seeks to support talented artists and designers at pivotal points in their careers across a diverse range of artistic mediums, allowing them to focus on their research and to develop their practice.
