Shaun Cothill
interior designer
Shaun Cothill is the founder of The Studio Still, a concept design studio based in Dubai, recognised for its quietly powerful aesthetic and concept-led approach. With a focus on interior and product design, Shaun crafts elegant home interiors that reflect restraint, clarity, and enduring elegance. The studio’s work is defined by a philosophy of stillness—spaces that hold presence without excess, shaped by natural materials, intentional form, and emotional resonance. Rather than perform, the designs invite pause. Each project is guided by a quiet sensitivity to feeling, light, and rhythm, where minimalism becomes poetic and every detail serves a deeper narrative. Working across diverse geographies and cultural contexts, The Studio Still brings its distinct approach to residential, hospitality, and bespoke projects around the world.

Shaun Cothill On His Journey Into Interior Design
Before founding The Studio Still, Shaun built a distinguished career as legal counsel to global brands across fashion, luxury, hospitality, and finance. This experience offered a rare, behind-the-scenes understanding of how narrative, identity, and strategic clarity shape meaningful experiences. That foundation instilled a disciplined ability to listen, distil complexity, and bring clarity, qualities that now inform our design process and the way we foster lasting client relationships.
