The Objective
OUR SOLUTION
The primary objective was delivering a highly customized solution driven by Savills’ direct involvement in furniture and accessory curation. The client sought a space that felt warm, engaging, and personal, while still maintaining a polished, professional aesthetic. Achieving this required thoughtful coordination between furniture selections, Fringe styling, and the architectural design, as well as flexibility to accommodate evolving preferences throughout the process.

CLIENT & PARTNER FEEDBACK
“We have had a great experience working with Hyphn on this project. From the start, they delivered work in a timely manner, customized orders to meet our specific needs, and maintained clear communication throughout the process. Their attention to detail was exceptional, making the experience seamless, and they were truly great people to work with.
This project was unique because the Savills team was highly involved in curating furniture and Fringe accessories to reflect their new presence in San Diego. That vision required a deeply integrated approach, and our teams worked hand-in-hand with Hyphn to make design choices that ensured the final solutions were cohesive and aligned with the client’s goals. Hyphn’s ability to collaborate, adapt, and execute with precision was instrumental in translating the client’s vision into a thoughtfully designed space.”
