Winch Design
In the world of bespoke design, Winch Design stands as a lodestar, radiating a unique blend of creativity and elegance across multiple domains. Founded in 1986 by Andrew Winch and his wife Jane, the design studio has transformed from a niche focus on yacht interiors and exteriors to a multifaceted powerhouse. Operating from its London headquarters, Winch Design has now diversified into Aviation, Architecture, and Interior design, garnering a global clientele that seeks nothing less than exceptionalism.
Deeply influenced by Andrew Winch’s foundational years under the iconic designer Jon Bannenberg, the studio embraces a philosophy that stretches far beyond superficial aesthetics. Aptly termed the “Winch Ethos,” this design approach aims for a holistic resonance—spaces that not only visually enthrall but also evoke an emotional and energetic response. Achieving this requires an immensely talented team of over 85 professionals, who collaborate to create bespoke designs that reflect the individual needs, desires, and lifestyles of their high-profile clientele. Whether it’s a superyacht, a private jet, or a luxury residence, the focus is always on offering an original, tailored experience, right down to sourcing the glassware, linen, and artworks that infuse each project with a unique aura.
Winch Design’s portfolio is a compendium of unparalleled luxury, including some of the marine industry’s crown jewels like the 133-meter Al Mirqab and Lurssens’ Phoenix 2 and Ace. Beyond the sea, the firm also boasts innovative designs in aviation and architectural spaces, all while maintaining the core values of balance, beauty, and emotional resonance. The firm sets itself apart with its turn-key services; every detail, from the foundational design to the most minuscule accessory, is thoughtfully sourced and positioned. In a world where luxury can often feel mass-produced, Winch Design offers a sanctum of personalized elegance and attention to detail, making it a pacesetter in the realm of integrated, custom design. Their projects don’t just occupy space; they tell stories, set moods, and create an unparalleled emotional engagement. It is this incredible versatility and depth of experience that has cemented Winch Design’s reputation as an industry leader in not just design but in the art of transforming spaces into experiences.
