interview - Preen

by Penny Martin .

 

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

Preen: We moved into the studio in June 2004.

Penny Martin: What made you choose it? 

Preen: It's big, airy and compartmental.

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

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

Penny Martin: Please describe what happens there on a typical day. 

Preen: Chaotic creativity. No typical day.

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

Preen: We designed it.

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

Preen: 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.
