Crude is an interior design studio founded in Barcelona in 2018 by Sheila Llovet. Its work focuses on creating spaces that combine architecture, furniture, and atmosphere with an honest and essential approach. The studio begins with a deep understanding of how people inhabit spaces and translates that observation into projects that balance functionality, emotion, and materiality. Each of Crude’s proposals seeks to capture the essence of a space, stripping away the superfluous to highlight texture, light, and proportion. The result is timeless, sensitive interiors rooted in context. Crude works on both residential and commercial projects, developing tailored concepts and custom furniture pieces for each commission. The studio collaborates with local artisans and manufacturers to ensure careful execution aligned with the vision of each project.
