Pirajean Lees

Writing a unique story for every project, this London-based interior design studio creates richly imaginative interiors and bespoke talking points.

Founded in 2017 by Clémence Pirajean and James Michael Lees, this design studio takes a holistic approach to each project, collaborating with people who share their passion for enriching lifestyles and improving environments through design.

Whether it’s a residential, retail or hospitality project, each unique commission begins with finding a narrative. This could be the geography of the surrounding landscape. The rediscovery of hidden architectural details. Or sometimes, simply walking through an empty room; imagining what might have been, and now could be.

The stumbled-upon elements of the natural world also ignite creativity for the studio. An ancient tree reborn as a piece of furniture. A discarded piece of marble reshaped by craftsmanship. The quirks and texture of materials which don’t fit the mould, but ensure every piece or space is as unique as it is sustainable – and always bespoke.

Artistic inspiration runs deep through the founders’ own stories. Clémence’s family are sculptors and creators, with roots in hospitality, which gave Clémence valuable insights into the industry from an early age. James comes from a line of architects and designers, and attributes his love for storytelling to his early career in film direction and production design.
