WHAT WE DO

Mr.Lawrence studio

WHO WE ARE

For years we have worked together on our respective projects, until we decided to formalize this chemistry by founding our design consulting agency: Mr.Lawrence.

 

We complemented each other professionally: theory & design, research & company production, order & disorder. We are different but at the same time synergic. Our strength lies in our two mirrored viewpoints.
