Advanced Design Studio, Givenchy, Alexander McQueen etc.
The studio of Ejing Zhang was founded in 2014 and based in central London- Cockpit Arts Holborn.

All the tiles are hand poured and finished in their London based studio making each and every piece completely unique.
This unusual process was spotted by WGSN (Worth Global Style Network) in 2013 when Zhang was commissioned to create the trophies for the Global Fashion Awards held in the Victoria and Albert Museum London.

Troels Flensted
All His WorksTroels Flensted (1987) is educated from Central Saint Martins in London. After graduating in 2014 he moved back to his native Denmark and founded his design studio in January 2015.
Flensted’s experimental studio is exploring the potential within material behaviour, colours and manufacturing processes, and finds inspiration in the aesthetic and undiscovered possibilities deriving from combining the three. His work is often minimalistic in its shape, allowing the materials’ own characteristics to shine. This approach has led to exiting projects and commissions for both privates and companies.
Flensted’s work has been exhibited at some of the most respected design fairs across Europe, including; 100% design, designjunction, northmodern, Eindhoven Design Week, Stockholm Design Week and Maison & Objet Paris where he was awarded the ‘Talent á la Carte’ Award.
