ABOUT US
Since 2015, Rob and the Design’d Living team have been improving interiors. We design, reconfigure, project coordinate, make, rebuild, renovate, refit, source and create.
Rob and the design studio specialise in luxury contemporary interior design in the UK and Dubai that feels exactly right for the property.
We’re experts at creating a wow factor. Attention to detail is evident in all our designs and our skills range from technical interior architecture to colour balancing and sourcing the perfect items for each property – from idyllic Italian marble tiles to an enigmatic antique-shop find.
Our interior designs reflect the personality of both property and owner. They’re practical and beautiful.
We’re all about making where you live and work better, brighter and more pleasurable to be in.
Rob Lessmann
Managing & Creative Director
Since 2015, Rob has led Design’d Living design studio projects ranging from boutique apartments to high-end holiday homes, luxury show homes to commercial developments, and country cottages to townhouses.
Specialising in interior architecture through to the most exclusive finishes, with intricate attention to detail, Rob brings a can-do spirit, an exciting collection of contacts, and a sharp design eye to every project.
Rob connects each project with the right team – contractors, artisans, lighting designers, furniture makers. Whatever your interior requires, Rob and his team will find an inspiring solution and coordinate your project.
Rob’s love of interior design began young, while travelling abroad, when he would take notice of unusual building designs. He still loves to travel and pairs inspiration from the best places across the world with hands-on practical talent. When travelling, he’s constantly looking out for ideas and interesting designs and connecting with the places he’s in.
Rob is an energetic people person. Call us and he will meet you to talk about your tastes and lifestyle to begin the process of finding the right design solution within your budget.
The Team
Working alongside Rob is the Design’d Living team, a collection of talented designers and organisers, all working to create beautiful interiors. With a design studio in the UK and in Dubai, Rob’s business is also all about an overflowing little black book full of unique creators, craftspeople and contractors, a selection of whom contribute their skills towards each highly polished end result.
Our interior-design studio produces conceptual designs, sketches and drawings, CAD plans and 3D renditions, which turn our ideas into reality. The whole team understands the need for detailed designs that not only offer practical solutions, but look exceptional, too.
Each person – in the studio and beyond – helps shape initial ideas into the best interiors, with successful flow, proportion and functionality. Everything is tested and formulated with experience and knowledge.
We also know that great communication leads to great projects that run smoothly. The client is always at the centre of our work, and we communicate clearly, often and efficiently with everyone involved in every project.

It all starts with a conversation.
Great interior design needs collaboration and confidence. At the start of the design process, we capture every detail of your brief and begin to stir in creativity, expertise and effortless style. We look for a spark, so that each design is truly individual and perfectly suited to your needs.
Our clear design process means that no matter the size of the project, our organisation and communication lead to brilliant results.
