about milieu
The beginning of our story was written on a hot, dry afternoon in New York in 2019. In the café of a boutique hotel on New York’s Lower East Side, a group of young designer friends met to discuss anecdotes and insights from their work and called it the “Asian Designer Tiny Colloquium.” After a lengthy process of positioning, consolidating resources, and discussing global design trends, milieu studio was conceptualized.
These young design professionals had noticed the cultural, geographical, and technological advancement challenges many traditional design studios face. So, the concept of the satellite workstation was born.
milieu studio brings together the resources of art and design professionals around the world to match clients with the most appropriate and innovative solutions. That same year, the first milieu satellite location was established in Hangzhou, China to serve our growing Chinese clients.
关于密虑
密虑工作室成立于纽约下东区一间Boutique Hotel的咖啡室。几位年轻设计师朋友常聚于此地讨论工作中的趣闻与见解,并称其为“亚洲设计小小会谈”(Asian Designer Tiny Colloquium)。随后,经过了漫长的定位,资源整合与就全球设计风潮的探讨,密虑工作室如其名字一般在2019年纽约一个燥热的下午写下了故事的开头。
这些尚还年轻的设计工作者已经嗅到传统设计工作室所面临来自于文化,地理,与科技优势的挑战,从而构想了卫星工作站的概念。密虑整合了在全球范围内的艺术设计工作者资源,致力于给客户匹配到最合适且创新的解决方案。同年,密虑工作室的第一个卫星点落户杭州,以便于服务日渐增长的国内客户群。
