Rask & Bell Studio Timeline Grid

Ten years of an invented design studio as one masonry wall of photographs, quotes and big numbers: pick one year or several with the counted year chips, switch newest first off to read the story from the start, and open a moment as a photo or a studio note in the lightbox.

  • A bright former workshop on moving-in week: whitewashed brick, tall steel windows, a long oak table, a few cardboard boxes and an olive tree in morning sun
    2026
    08 Sept / A new chapter

    Room to dream.

    A former workshop with tall windows. More space, the same small-studio spirit, and room for whatever comes next.

    11 Feb / A studio note

    “Ten years in. Still asking ‘what if?’”

    Signe Rask, co-founder

    The questions have grown. The instinct is the same: stay open, make things with care, and see where they take us.

    18 Nov / A small big milestone

    100 projects. One curious studio.

    Made with good people

    From our first café to our hundredth project, every brief has left a little something with us. Here’s to the next one.

  • Seen from above, two hands rolling terracotta ink onto a carved lino block with a leaf pattern on a brown-paper workbench
    2025
    20 May / Back to the materials

    Less screen. More hands.

    One Friday a month, we step away from our desks. This time: lino, ink and permission to be beginners.

  • A small timber pavilion with a slatted roof and a long bench in a garden of tall grasses and wildflowers, evening sun through the slats
    2024
    16 Jul / Places for people

    A slower kind of space.

    A small pavilion in a public garden: a quiet place that brought our love of materials and everyday rituals together.

    04 Oct / A studio note

    “Make fewer things. Make them mean more.”

    A note above our desks

    Seven words that became our studio compass. We began choosing fewer projects, giving each one more time and more of ourselves.

  • A tall white gallery hall with ochre and rust fabric panels hanging like sails, one small figure looking up
    2022
    22 Aug / New perspectives

    Thinking a little bigger.

    Our first cultural commission: fabric sails for a gallery hall. A new scale, a new team, and a reminder to look up.

    15 Mar / Growing together

    12 minds around one table.

    Different eyes. Shared energy.

    Designers, makers, thinkers. Our little table got longer, and the conversations got a lot more interesting.

  • Four small figures with backpacks walking a grassy cliff path above a hazy silver sea
    2021
    11 Jun / The annual elsewhere

    Out of office. Into the open.

    No agenda, no presentation. Just a few days walking, talking and remembering where good ideas really begin.

    08 Apr / A studio note

    “Different rooms. Same wavelength.”

    The year we found new rituals

    Studio breakfasts became kitchen calls. Sketchbooks crossed doorsteps. We learned that a studio is its people, wherever they are.

    Read the studio note

  • An exhibition of everyday things: a wooden chair, a ceramic jug, a broom and a stack of plates on white plinths
    2019
    12 Sept / Our first exhibition

    A new way of looking.

    An exhibition about the unnoticed: a chair, a jug, a broom, seen from a new angle. Our first chance to make people pause.

    07 Nov / Finding our feet

    20 projects out in the world.

    Every one taught us something

    A shop, a book, a room, a small identity. Twenty very different projects, and the beginnings of a voice that felt like ours.

    Read the studio note

  • A small library reading room with curved oak shelves, a window seat with a mustard cushion and a round rug in afternoon sun
    2018
    24 Apr / A place to pause

    The quiet projects stay.

    A reading room for a small neighbourhood library. Built for lingering, and still a favourite place to spend an afternoon.

  • A long candlelit table in a courtyard garden at dusk, with linen, bread, figs, wine glasses and string lights overhead
    2017
    21 Oct / Our first studio supper

    Pull up a chair.

    We invited our collaborators for dinner. Nobody left early. Studio suppers have been part of our calendar ever since.

    05 Jun / The team doubles

    04 people. A few more possibilities.

    Our first two teammates

    Two more chairs, two new perspectives. We learned to share the work, trust each other, and buy much more coffee.

    Read the studio note

  • A small kitchen corner with glossy ochre tiles, a cobalt-blue cabinet, an oak shelf of handmade cups and a white sink
    2017
    14 Feb / Our first interior

    An everyday kind of lovely.

    Ochre tiles, a cobalt cabinet and a client who trusted us: our first space, from a blank page to the very last handle.

    09 Nov / Our first believer

    “I don’t know what it should look like. That’s your bit.”

    Our very first client

    Our first brief came with a rare gift: trust. We still keep the original email pinned above the studio printer.

    Read the studio note

  • Two cups of black coffee and an open sketchbook with pencil drawings of shapes and a shop front on a round marble cafe table
    2016
    17 Aug / The first commission

    It started over coffee.

    A tiny café, a sketchbook and a handwritten introduction. Our first real commission began over two very good coffees.

    03 May / Day one

    02 people. One shared hunch.

    Signe Rask + Jonah Bell

    We believed there was room for a studio that cared as much about the little things as the big idea. So we made one.

    Read the studio note

  • One old wooden desk with a metal lamp against a white wall of taped-up sketches and swatches, two different wooden chairs
    2016
    12 Apr / Where it all began

    One desk. A thousand ideas.

    A borrowed desk, two second-hand chairs, and more enthusiasm than a business plan. Rask & Bell began right here.
