Reflecting on a year of WOW moments

StudioXAG 2023 Wrapup

Where has this year gone? It feels like only yesterday we were welcoming in 2023, excited for what was to come.

Now, we couldn’t be prouder of the collaborations we’ve worked on, the WOW moments we’ve created and the change we’re starting to see happening in our industry as we strive for a more sustainable future.

We have some fantastic plans lined up for 2024 as StudioXAG turns 15 (!) but for now we’re taking some time to reflect on the year, take stock and get some well earned rest over the holidays.

We hope you do too.

Gemma & Xavier, founders, StudioXAG

2023 Wrap-up Bringing the WOW 

If we’re known for anything, it’s for creating WOW moments for some of the world’s best brands. This year was no exception, with projects for Coach, Liberty – launching their first ever fragrance with a multi-sensory experience – diptyque, lululemon, Montblanc and many more. We can’t wait to get stuck in to the collaborations in store for 2024.

2023 Wrap-up Collaborating for Change 

We love to work with brands that share our values and support them in bringing their activations to life. This year, we were thrilled to work with Choose Love once again to launch their Carnaby St Store as well as Shelter’s boutique pop-up in Somerset House and Project Fearless’ exhibition in Amsterdam.

We love working with StudioXAG both because they deliver such a high quality design but also, and equally importantly, they really share our values and care about our work. We feel very lucky to get to work with the best and loveliest in the business!
