Resident Studio

Resident Studio, the in-house creative team behind the Resident brand, embodies the spirit of innovation and craftsmanship that defines the company’s design philosophy. Led by founders Simon James and Scott Bridgens, the studio operates from Auckland, New Zealand, where its talented team focuses on material exploration and design research to create unique lighting and furniture pieces.

The studio’s work combines the minimalist precision of geometric forms with a playful yet sophisticated aesthetic. Every piece is carefully crafted to balance form and function, reflecting Resident’s ethos of blending contemporary design with timeless appeal. The result is a collection of products that not only serve practical purposes but also elevate interior spaces with their refined and enduring character.

By integrating local craftsmanship with global influences, Resident Studio has become a leader in the “New World Luxury” movement. Their commitment to sustainable design and technical excellence is evident in iconic collections like Circus, Hex, and Ghost, which showcase the studio’s ability to push boundaries while staying true to its heritage. Resident Studio represents the perfect synergy of artistry, innovation, and functionality.
