Design Principles
CDi creates a balance of aesthetics and rationale for each project and ensures the design can be detailed properly. It’s about bespoke interiors, where details are not mere details, but rather, details govern the design. CDi adheres to paring down to the essentials to create something significant. It’s about meaningful environments where every gesture or detail has a reason for being.
