The Studio
The Studio
Option 1 is an art studio & consultancy that turns a space into a strategic asset. For residential, commercial, and hospitality clients, we translate what a space needs to say into a complete art program, designed to perform, not just decorate.
We work alongside architects, designers, and the investors and operators behind a space, at any stage — from bare walls to finished rooms.
Strategy, production, and installation, handled end to end.
Built on 15 years across art, hospitality, marketing, and design. Art that works for your space, not just in it.

Original Art
We source and commission original works, paintings, works on paper, photography, sculpture, objects, and site-specific murals, from a curated network of local and international artists. Every piece is selected or made for a specific space and a specific brief. We handle the full procurement process: artist relationships, negotiation, production oversight, delivery and installation.

Digital Art Prints
Digital Art Prints
Every work is made for one space, one brief, and exists nowhere else. Created to fit the precise aesthetic, dimensions, mood, and audience of a particular room, not stock, not adapted, not repeated. Produced as singular fine art prints on canvas, archival paper, or specialist substrates. The same quality tier as original art, at a significantly more accessible price point.

Sculpture & Lighting as Art
Sculpture & Lighting as Art
Freestanding and suspended sculpture, sourced or commissioned, made to hold a space in three dimensions. The piece a room is built around, like the diver over Dano's, engineered to float where it matters most.
Sculptural and illuminated pieces that work as focal points after dark, backlit works, custom light installations, and pieces integrated into the architecture itself.

Interactive Art & Subscriptions
Interactive Art & Subscriptions
Generative work and screen installations that respond to the room and the people in it. Made for one space, managed remotely, and never the same twice.
Deployed on dedicated screens or existing displays, collections can be rotated, refreshed, and kept alive without physical logistics or the cost of new work.

Some spaces express who someone is, others signal who they’re for. Every brief begins here.

What a space does
What a space does
Art that drives experience, positioning, and how a place is remembered, not decoration, but a working part of the space.
