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.
