the journal
Ideas, inspiration, and the occasional deep dive.
The Studio Sio Journal is where we share the people, places, and perspectives that shape our work—from design history to studio updates, interviews, concepts, and the things we can’t stop thinking about. It’s a space by us as designers, for anyone who loves design with depth and a point of view.
About Her: Eileen Gray
A look into the life and legacy of Eileen Gray - architect, furniture designer, and quiet disruptor. Her work didn’t just predict modernism, it redefined it. Still sharp. Still strange. Still way ahead of the curve.
About Her: Elsie de Wolfe
Often called the world’s first interior designer, Elsie de Wolfe was less about trends and more about transformation. She helped pull New York interiors out of the Victorian gloom and into something lighter, brighter, and unapologetically new. In this issue of our historic interiors journal, we’re spotlighting three of her most iconic spaces.
