Find the idea.
We begin with your brand, your audience and what the object needs to do. Shape, material, artwork and finish develop together, with a clear brief and considered direction.
Ideas, made
tangible.
Design. Manufacture. Deliver.
Considered from
every angle.
Bespoke objects, branded products and interior details for hospitality, retail and beyond — considered, crafted and made to order.
ESPOKE brings creative direction and practical production together. We help brands turn an idea into something people can hold, use and remember: a distinctive piece of packaging, an everyday object, or the detail that gives a space its character.
With over 30 years of combined experience spanning design, luxury retail, hospitality, logistics and business development, we bring specialist expertise to every stage of a project.
Led by Joshua Clingan, our work connects a designer’s eye with an understanding of how products are made. We consider the finish, the feel and the purpose of every piece, then work with specialist manufacturing partners to bring it to life.
EXPERIENCE THAT INFORMS THE DETAILWe understand
We understand
both sides
of the counter.
What a customer notices. What a team needs. What makes a brand memorable.
Our background in luxury retail and hospitality informs the questions we ask. An object needs to look right, but it also needs to feel right and work naturally in the moment it is used. We consider the welcome, the service, the presentation and the lasting impression.
That understanding is supported by experience in logistics and business development. We connect creative ambition with practical decisions about quantities, production, lead times and delivery, helping you build a collection of details that works as a whole.
Make it matter.
We bring the right makers to the project, exploring materials, samples and production methods. We review the feel, colour, fit and finish through an appropriate sampling process, resolving the details with you before agreeing the specification for manufacture. Clear communication with makers helps carry the design intent through to the finished piece.
Bring it together.
We coordinate the practical steps from production to delivery, keeping the specification, quantities and destination in view throughout. Packing, handling and timing are part of the brief from the start. Whether the pieces are intended for a launch, a venue or an ongoing retail collection, we plan around how and where they will be used.
A brand’s physical world.
Luxury packaging. Branded drinkware. Print and stationery. Hospitality textiles. Retail objects. Lighting, mirrors and bespoke interior details.
A single carefully made object or a complete collection of touchpoints: we approach each brief with the same attention. We can develop a new identity, work within established brand guidelines or collaborate with your designers to translate an existing vision into production.
