Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi of Preen

Penny Martin: When did you first move into your studio? 

Preen: We moved into the studio in June 2004.

PM: What made you choose it? 

P: It's big, airy and compartmental.

PM: What are the different roles of the people working in your studio? 

P: Designers, production, research - basically everything!!

We love the fact that there's a tube line running past it. It brings new energy in every 10 minutes, in every direction.

PM: Please describe what happens there on a typical day. 

P: Chaotic creativity. No typical day.

PM: How did the appearance/décor of your studio come about? Did it evolve spontaneously, or was it designed? 

P: We designed it.

PM: Is there something about your studio that inspires your work or is it purely a practical space? 

P: Both, we love the fact that there's a tube line running past it. It brings new energy in every 10 minutes, in every direction.
