“There’s a story waiting to be told.”⁠
⁠
That idea sat at the heart of our conversation with the newly launched hospitality studio Halkyn, the London-based studio born from internationally renowned design group CCD.⁠
⁠
The morning after Halkyn’s launch celebrations, we returned to the studio to sit down with Jonathan Aeberhard and the wider team to talk about what this new chapter could mean for hospitality design across London, Europe and beyond.⁠
⁠
One of the most revealing moments came when Jonathan explained why the studio launched under a new name rather than simply becoming CCD London.⁠
⁠
“We’re cousins,” he explained. “We’re part of the family, we share the DNA and the characteristics, but a cousin can be quite different to a direct daughter or son.”⁠
⁠
That balance between global infrastructure and local character became a defining theme throughout the conversation. Alongside the scale and capability of CCD sits a studio that wants to work closely, collaboratively and personally with clients in this market.⁠
⁠
The team also spoke candidly about their creative process. “You have to empty your mind of everything else that you’ve done,” explained Design Director Su Doggett. “It almost feels like the property has this story waiting to be told.”⁠
⁠
From a luxury riverboat project on the Nile to the importance of designing spaces where guests feel the narrative rather than simply see it, the conversation revealed a studio deeply invested in atmosphere, emotion and experience-led hospitality design.⁠

Our Joyful Spaces series explores the commercial spaces designers and industry professionals feel deeply connected to, places that inspire creativity, reflection and a sense of joy beyond everyday function.⁠
⁠
The latest feature comes from Ana Moisin, Founder and Creative Director at Anamo Design Studio, who reflects on her experience of teamLab Borderless in Tokyo’s Minato City, an immersive environment that quietly redefines the boundaries of exhibition design.⁠
⁠
In Ana’s words, the space becomes “an ecosystem of neurological experiences”, where light, sound and movement dissolve any sense of structure or prescribed journey.⁠
⁠
Rather than guiding visitors through a fixed narrative, teamLab Borderless invites them to wander instinctively, creating an experience that feels deeply personal, fluid and impossible to fully capture.⁠

For all the attention Milan Design Week gives to launches and spectacle, some of the most memorable moments this year came from the way designers approached materials.⁠
⁠
Across Alcova and the wider city, there was a noticeable shift towards design that felt more grounded in materiality and process. Historic spaces became backdrops for restrained forms, industrial materials sat alongside handcrafted techniques, and many of the standout projects seemed more interested in emotional connection than visual excess.⁠
⁠
Rather than chasing novelty, a lot of the work explored how objects age, how materials interact, and how spaces make people feel over time.⁠
⁠
Design Insider contributor Jim Biddulph rounds up some of the standout ideas, installations and material conversations that shaped this year’s Milan Design Week.⁠
