Lime Studio

Lime Studio is an up and coming trio of designers based in the UK. The team is comprised of UK born Matthew Dabbs, half Swiss-half Japanese Oscar Tange, and Cypriot born Panos Vasiliou. I met them at the Satellite Salone show in Milan. They’re very passionate about their work and took a lot of time to the concepts behind their work.

Their Milan collection included a unique, leaning shelving unit that requires no screws or fixings.  They came up with the idea from their own experience living in rental properties, where you aren’t allowed to do much to the walls - like hang shelves. The unit comes with 5 shelves in different colors that slide in and snap into place. I particularly like the fact that the shelves run only half way across the unit so that taller books and objects fit comfortably in place. It was a well thought out concept.

I liked the other projects, mostly tables, that Lime Studio has developed. They’re definitely a team to watch.
