Between
Design &
Operation
Studio Sève brings a design-led eye and an operational understanding to the objects that complete a hospitality concept, for five-star hotels and resorts, destination restaurants, private clubs and branded residences. Each place takes its true shape in daily use, at the table, in the room and in the hands of the team that serves it, where beauty and function must meet.
Every choice begins with the setting and the way a piece will be used. Material, proportion, durability and ease of care are weighed as carefully as form.
Our work extends from curation and bespoke development to specification, procurement and installation, whether a property is preparing to open or already welcoming guests.
SERVICES
Four Services, One Project
01
PROJECT & CURATION
Concept and operation, translated into a selection.
02
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
When the right object does not exist, we give it form.
03
PROCUREMENT
Quotations, orders, production and deliveries, in one place.
04
INSTALLATION & STYLING
On site until every detail is ready for use.
What a space's daily operation relies on, from the table to the room. Every object specified around the moment it serves.
WHERE THE EXPERIENCE IS HELD
OS&E
Operating Supplies and Equipment are the products a property relies on every day, across guest rooms, dining, bar and service. Often defined late in a project, their specifications influence how a place is operated, maintained and replenished for years to come.
We approach OS&E as a coordinated scope between design intent and operational requirements. Starting from the service model and the needs of each area, we define item schedules, quantities and specifications. Every selection is assessed for material performance, maintenance, replacement availability, cost and lead times, as well as its fit within the wider design.
TABLE & DINING
Tableware, cutlery, glassware and tabletop accessories for food presentation and dining rituals.
BEVERAGE & BAR
Objects for tea, coffee, wine, cocktails, water and other beverage rituals.
SERVICE & PRESENTATION
Trays, stands, buffet pieces and guest-facing accessories used during service.
GUEST ROOM & BATHROOM
Amenity trays, boxes, organisers, dispensers and in-room guest details.
GUEST EXPERIENCE
Textiles, menus, signage, welcome objects and the touchpoints that carry the brand.
SHAPING THE PHYSICAL EXPERIENCE
FF&E
Alongside OS&E, we work across selected FF&E scopes, from furniture and decorative lighting to textiles, artwork and accessories. For new projects, we develop and deliver these selections in alignment with the interior concept and the appointed design team, bringing together established brands, specialist makers and bespoke pieces.
We also work with properties already in operation. A restaurant may need new seating; a hotel may wish to renew its guest-room textiles or update a shared space. These focused interventions are shaped around the existing identity of the property, its operational needs and the practicalities of working in a live environment.

WHEN WE WORK
Before opening.
Beyond it.
Our work is shaped by the point at which a property needs us, whether a new destination is being developed or an established one is ready to evolve.
/ NEW PROJECTS
From specification and sourcing to procurement and installation, we work with owners, operators and the appointed design team to bring OS&E and selected FF&E into the project in line with its concept, programme and budget.
/ OPERATING PROPERTIES
We undertake focused updates to OS&E and selected FF&E in properties already in service, from renewing tableware and guest-room details to replacing furniture or lighting. Scope and delivery are planned around day-to-day operations.
SOURCING STRATEGIES
From Curated to
Bespoke
Not every element of a project needs the same approach.
We choose the right one for each product, according to design intent, operation, budget, quantities and lead times.
/ Curated
Existing products selected from our network of brands, manufacturers and specialist suppliers.
Efficient sourcing · Proven solutions · Controlled lead times
/ Customised
Existing products adapted through materials, finishes, dimensions, colours or branding.
Project identity · Flexibility · Production efficiency
/ Bespoke
Products developed for the project, from concept through prototyping and production.
Signature elements · Specific requirements · Unique touchpoints
STRUCTURE, VISIBILITY, CONTROL
Procurement Management
We manage procurement through a dedicated digital platform that brings product schedules, specifications, supplier proposals, budgets and approvals into a structured workflow. Each client has a project-specific dashboard to review selections, approve individual items and leave feedback directly against each product. Once decisions are confirmed, we coordinate orders and track lead times, production and delivery against the approved schedule, keeping a clear record from specification through to installation.
