PAD London 2026 | Alicia’s Edit

Our Creative Director, Alícia Meireles, spent Tuesday at the PAD Collectors Preview in Berkeley Square.

What she looks for at a fair like PAD is the piece that earns its place in a home - something that has enough character to anchor a room, and made well enough to live with for decades later.

Four stands stopped her:

88 Gallery
Galerie Meubles et Lumières
Portuondo Gallery
CHAHAN GALLERY

For our private clients, collectible design is often where a scheme comes alive. One considered piece can say more about the people who live in a room than a full set of matching furniture.

PAD London is open to the public until Sunday 18th October

We use CGI and 3D modelling on every project, but hand sketching still earns its place in the process. A sketch can capture a spatial idea in the time it takes to have a conversation - useful in early client meetings, when you’re working through a concept live rather than presenting a finished render. It also leaves room for the kind of happy accident a fully rendered model doesn’t allow.

Here, our founder Alex Labridis explains why hand sketching remains part of OWN LONDON’s design process.

At our Kensington Townhouse project, the principal suite moves from bedroom to dressing room to en suite as one continuous sequence - designed to feel simpler to live in, not just beautiful to look at.

The principal bedroom is dressed in serene greens and blues with patterned fabrics, opening into a colour-drenched mint-green dressing room, where bespoke joinery keeps everything organised and out of sight.

The en suite shifts to a softer, calmer palette. Cream herringbone marble catches the light from a large square window and new skylight, framing a double shower, freestanding bath and bespoke wooden vanity.

Three rooms, one uninterrupted flow.

OWN LONDON delivered the restaurant design concept for Imad's Syrian Kitchen and restaurateur Imad Al Arnab.

One of Damascus’s most respected chefs, Imad fled to Europe when civil war broke out, later starting a pop-up restaurant and donating the proceeds to charity before opening one of London’s best-loved restaurants. In 2023, as the restaurant moved into a larger venue, OWN LONDON were commissioned to reimagine the interior.

The design draws on traditional Syrian architecture and ‘courtyard homes,’ bringing the feeling of a Syrian courtyard to life as a destination for food, music and dancing. Several Syrian artists were commissioned to create bespoke pieces, including hand-painted miniature murals of apricot trees and gold-leaf water features - in the style of ‘Paradise Gardens,’ a motif often found in these homes.

A smoked glass partition lets guests catch glimpses of shadow and movement as Imad and his team prepare food behind it.

At our Kensington Townhouse project, we split one large room into two children’s bedrooms using a pocket door. Custom day beds pull out into full doubles, and built-in storage in both rooms keeps things organised without losing the sense of play.

We leaned into colour and patterned upholstery to give each room its own personality. Underneath, the choices are practical: wipeable, durable fabrics and concealed storage throughout, with furniture built to adapt as the children grow.

This June, we look at the part of OWN London’s work that doesn’t end when the build does.

I’m Grace, OWN London’s Private Client Manager. My job starts when the architects, designers and contractors finish theirs - or rather, my job is to keep the relationship with all of them open long after the keys are handed over.

I came into this role sideways. I studied renovation and restoration of buildings in Greece, came to England almost by accident to study architecture, and worked out fairly quickly that I didn’t want to sit in an architecture office. What kept pulling me back was the work with people - procurement, project management, and now looking after homes for private clients. I’ve been at OWN London since 2018. Alex backed me to grow into this role, and I’ve never forgotten that.

This month I’m taking you behind the part of our work that never shows up in a render or a finished room. The trust a client places in you when they hand over their keys and fly home to another country. The supplier who picks up the phone on a Saturday because you’ve earned it. The crises that land with five minutes’ notice and have to be solved anyway.

Here’s what I keep coming back to. You can have every talent going, but without chemistry, the job never happens. A house is someone’s whole life, and nobody hands that to a person they don’t trust. So the relationship isn’t the soft part of this work. It’s the thing everything else is built on.

Welcome to Chapter 6.

The last few weeks took the team from Milan to New York and back to London. Design weeks, gallery shows, showrooms, and plenty of time spent just looking.

Time out of the studio does something useful. It pulls us out of our own habits and puts us in front of how other people solve the problems we work on every day. A material we hadn’t considered, or a room that handles light better than it has any right to. None of it lands straight in a project, but it shifts the reference points we design from.

That shift is the point. The work tends to be sharper for it.

3D visualisation sits at the heart of our design process. From the moment we receive the floor plans, our in-house visualiser works closely with our interior designers to transform design concepts into highly detailed representations of the finished space.

More than just a presentation asset, visualisation allows us to explore ideas, solve design challenges and understand how spaces will feel long before they are built.

Swipe to discover 3D visuals from one of our projects in West London, along with images of the finished space.

AI has become a ‘can’t-live-without’ tool we use daily in the OWN London office. It’s supporting the work we deliver in incredible ways. But there are many things it cannot do.

It can’t read a building. Not really. It can pattern-match to what it’s been trained on, but doesn’t understand why a Georgian cornice sits at that height, or what happens to light in a north-facing listed room in January. It doesn’t know the client. It doesn’t know what they’re not saying.

The decisions that matter most still come from years spent inside specific building types, and from the kind of conversations you only have once you know what someone isn’t telling you. That isn’t data. It’s judgement.

Where AI does its work is in the space between the idea and the decision. It makes a concept visible faster, which buys us more time on the parts of the job a tool can’t take on.

Knowing which is which - what AI accelerates and what still has to be led - is most of the job.

“Sometimes I’m in the 3D world more than the real one.

I know how that sounds. But it’s been like that since I started learning Blender for fun, before I had a job in it, when the renders I was making were genuinely terrible and I still couldn’t stop. That feeling, watching an idea you’ve been carrying around in your head turn into something you can actually look at, hasn’t worn off. It’s why I do this for a living now.

This chapter I’m walking you through where AI fits into the work at OWN London. The tools I actually rely on, and the moments where I sit back and wonder how any of this is possible.

Here’s the take I keep coming back to. I’m a needed tool for our designers. They tell me what they want, I build it. AI is a tool for me. I tell it what I want, it gives me a starting point.

The decisions that make a space feel like something rather than just look like one, those still come from people who’ve spent years training their eye. AI doesn’t replace that. It just hands back the hours we used to lose to the tedious work, so we can spend them on the iterations and conversations that actually shape what a project becomes.

Welcome to Chapter 5.”
