The Studio
Pelican House is a full-service design studio that exists to connect its clients with artisans via the power of leading design.
We believe in creating uniquely personal collections for the world's top designers, and their customers, providing them with both cachet and a fresh, escapist experience.
We do this by harmonising ethnicity & heritage with modernity & practicality to achieve a statement aesthetic. Our collections, found across hotels to large scale residential installs, are typified by a joyful vibrancy, accented by timeless splashes of character & colour. Our team of specialists collaborates with our clients to co-curate bespoke styles, while encouraging them to consciously engage with our mission - our organising belief that design is a lasting force for positive change.
MEET OUR FOUNDERS
Between our Camden head office and outposts across India, Nepal and Turkey, our team is unified by a vocation for enduring quality, ethical practices, an innate sense of luxury and excellent service.
Ultimately, we're working towards a world where our statement designs truly are a force for good.
ETHICAL PARTNERSHIPS
It’s for that reason we take an uncompromising approach to selecting our suppliers on ethical grounds, working with partners like Label Step to ensure we are distributing ethical growth fairly. We invest in on-the-ground relationships with hundreds of artisans to ensure our commitments are being honoured both at source, and on delivery. It’s because of our global network and logistics partners that we’re able to tell their story, reliably, and at scale.
OUR MISSION
Design as Force for Good
RECIPROCITY AT EVERY STAGE
We believe in a business model from which each of our stakeholders can derive value that is greater than the sum of its parts. This means working with partners like Label Step to distribute ethical growth fairly. It means investing in on-the-ground relationships with our artisans to ensure our commitments are being honoured both at source and on delivery. It means weaving their worlds into our work, the interiors and homes of our clients and customers.
ELEVATING ARTISANS
We see ourselves as creative mediators between our buyers and artisans. Our model is driven by their creativity, and we are committed to preserving their past, present and future. We want to elevate their talents via our uncompromising approach to design, and tell their story at scale via the quality, reliability & robustness of our global supply chain.
ORIGINAL DESIGN FOR POSITIVE CHANGE
From the celebrated mind of Creative Director India Holmes, Pelican House’s studio harmonises ethnicity & heritage with modernity & practicality to achieve a statement aesthetic – providing cachet for our clients, and a fresh, escapist experience for their customers. We’re passionate advocates that design is a lasting force for positive change, especially when the artisan is elevated. We never chase novelty for its own sake.
CREATING PERSONAL EXPERIENCES
We believe in creating unique personal experiences for our clients and their customers. It’s a deeply intimate journey for every stakeholder involved:
Our Artisans: We take an uncompromising approach to selecting our suppliers on ethical grounds. It means we must go to the source, look beyond price alone, establish meaningful personal connections with our makers, celebrate their crafts and them as individuals.
Pelican House: A founder-driven concept, borne out of a vocation for timeless quality, radiant style, ethical practices and excellent customer service, Pelican House’s mission is unavoidably personal and dedicated to individuals.
Community: We work with our customers to co-curate a style and aesthetic, while encouraging them to consciously engage with our network. By facilitating access to this community, we enable connections that give deeper meaning to our day to day lives.
