Our Story
At the intersection of art and living.
Interior 31 was founded to shape interiors into poetic, sensory-rich environments through soft furnishings that merge art, design, colour, and emotional resonance. Our pieces exist between art and function — designed not just to complement a space, but to define it. Our mission is to bring depth, intention, and visual vitality into everyday living — through objects that are as emotionally resonant as they are materially refined.
Each design is released in a limited edition of 31 pieces, preserving its rarity and artistic integrity. This intentional limitation ensures every object feels personal, collectible, and enduring.
Every piece is treated like a composition: crafted in small batches, grounded in rich materials, and designed to engage the senses. Inspired by gallery spaces and the quiet theatre of interiors, our work is about more than aesthetics — it’s about how space feels.
The name Interior 31 evokes moments of rarity — days that feel different, interiors that leave a trace. The number 31 symbolizes creativity, change, and potential — a quiet marker of limited time and lasting impact.
We design for those who collect emotion, who curate meaning, and who live with intention.

1 — Art First
Design is not decoration—it’s a dialogue. Every product begins as a concept rooted in art history, spatial theory, or emotional architecture.2 — Limited by Design
Every design is produced in a limited edition of 31 pieces. This is not a marketing device—it is a creative principle. It preserves the uniqueness of each work and minimizes environmental impact.3 — Tactile Integrity
From heavyweight linen to sculptural inserts, every material is chosen for how it feels—on the skin and in the space.4 — Emotional Functionality
We believe in pieces that serve both the body and the spirit—comfortable to live with, contemplative to look at.5 — Colour as Language
We treat colour as an emotional and conceptual tool—applied not for trend, but to evoke presence, memory, and spatial tension. -
At Interior 31, design is both spatial and emotional architecture. Our cushions are sculptural forms — crafted to shape the rhythm, tone, and atmosphere of a space.
We treat colour as intention, not ornament — chosen for how it holds light, evokes memory, or creates emotional contrast. Texture, proportion, and materiality guide every decision, resulting in pieces that feel as permanent as art and as personal as a lived-in object.
Each design is released in a limited edition of 31, preserving its rarity, intimacy, and collectible value. We believe in restraint without rigidity, in stillness that speaks, and in interiors that feel as curated as they are lived.
