For 25 years, LW Design Group has been at the forefront of shaping interiors that transcend trends, creating timeless spaces that resonate with luxury and purpose. Founded in Dubai during a time when the city was just beginning its journey to becoming a global design hub, LW  has grown alongside it, leaving its unmistakable mark on some of the region’s most iconic spaces.

The senior leadership team at LW comprises of CEO and Founding Partner,Jesper Godsk;  Founding Partner and architect Colin Doyle; Partner and CFO, Jimmy Hansen; Partner and Design Director-Interior Design Rachel Kidd; Partner, Design Director and architect Cristina Wakamatsu; Partner and Design Director – Interior Design Pooja Shah-Mulani;  Partner and Technical Design Director Andrew Harm.

Lars Waldenström, Founding Partner of the firm (now retired), made a special visit to Dubai in order to commemorate the firm’s 25-year milestone.

We share the thoughts from the team on the occasion:

“When we first came to Dubai in 1999, we saw a unique opportunity to introduce Scandinavian minimalism to a region where opulence was the norm. We wanted to show that elegance could be achieved through simplicity, and 25 years later, we continue to build on that vision,” said Jesper Godsk, CEO and Founding Partner at LW.

Our teams have continuously delivered excellent and award-winning projects during the past 25 years, and with new partners and leadership announced over the last 2 years, we are very confident that this excellence will continue for the coming 25 years.Our clients know, that LW always delivers on an extremely high level, and we are certain that today’s teams will continue to deliver on these expectations going forward.” shares Jimmy Hansen, Partner and CFO at LW.

“Over the years, we’ve cultivated a reputation for turning our clients’ visions into stories. Whether it’s through a hospitality project or a residential space, we believe design is a language—a way of telling a story that resonates with the people who inhabit those spaces.” shares Rachel Kidd, Partner and Design Director at LW.

“Our ability to deliver projects on time and with the highest quality has been a cornerstone of our success. As a team, we’ve always been committed to staying ahead of the curve, whether it’s adopting new technologies or responding to the ever-changing demands of the market.” shares Andrew Harm, Partner and Design Director at LW.

Every new challenge is an opportunity to push boundaries and create something exceptional.”shares Pooja Shah-Mulani, Partner and Design Director at LW.
