Founder, Higgidy
The Box creates spaces with unique identities that balance functionality with beauty.
Our dynamic team aims to bring authenticity to every project, answering the brief through colour, furniture, texture and lighting. Whether it’s a commercial store, a home, a hotel, a restaurant or a garden, we want the end user to feel comfortable and connect with our design. We want every space to feel as if it has been curated over time, layering antiques with modern elements to achieve an honest, lived in feel. Our deep love of architecture plays a huge role in creating spaces that complement their surroundings as well as designing gardens and outdoor spaces that work with the interiors.

My passion for beautiful things and creating inviting spaces drives my work in design. I strive to harmonize the history of existing buildings with timeless and modern elements. Incorporating antique and vintage pieces is a hallmark of my work to craft warm, characterful environments that tell a story and people are drawn to.

“I’ve spent a couple of afternoons in the new space and it’s been a total pleasure. You have not only done a brilliant job in making it work functionally, creating a wonderful new ‘home’ for the Higgidy team but from a brand perspective you have managed to create a space that reflects all things Higgidy, warm, welcoming, a little bit quirky but you have very carefully and subtly moved the brand along!”
Camilla Stephens
Working with the team at The Box has been an absolute delight, they design beautiful spaces that meet both brief and budget! They consistently go the extra mile to support successful delivery throughout the entire project life cycle, from initial scope and concept design, through development and construction stages to final handover. They have been an extension of our internal team and their expertise are invaluable. I really can't recommend them highly enough!
