Modern Synthesis is a London-based startup leading the charge in the development of sustainable materials, harnessing 3.8 billion years of microbial history to create a new generation of natural biomaterials for use in the fashion industry.
The brief
When Modern Synthesis approached us seeking a workspace that reflected their innovative spirit, we were eager to get started. Partnering with forward-thinking teams is what drives us, and together, we set out to transform their industrial Balham space into a functional yet inspiring environment.
Our task was to balance the needs of a cutting-edge lab with a welcoming, practical workspace. Combining technical precision with human-centered design, we aimed to enhance productivity while reflecting Modern Synthesis’ bold vision.
The outcome
We delivered a workspace where style meets substance. The lab shines with state-of-the-art precision, while the office space radiates warmth and energy, supporting creativity and wellbeing. Every detail — from mechanical systems to ergonomic design — was tailored to Modern Synthesis’ needs, creating a seamless fusion of function and flair.
