interior designer
Founded in 2021 by interior designer Lishan Tham, Studio Shan is a London and Surrey-based interior design practice creating residential interiors defined by atmosphere, materiality and a strong sense of place. Guided by a refined and thoughtful design philosophy, the studio crafts spaces that feel calm, layered and deeply personal, balancing contemporary clarity with emotional resonance.
At the heart of Studio Shan's work is a nuanced understanding of light, texture and tone. Rather than relying on overt statements, the studio favours a quieter approach, creating interiors that reveal themselves gradually through carefully considered details, natural materials and a harmonious interplay between old and new. Drawing inspiration from Tham's Malaysian heritage, modernist architecture and a lifelong appreciation for craftsmanship, each project is designed to evolve with time, reflecting both the character of its inhabitants and the stories embedded within the space.
