The team

Partners in life and business, we run the studio from our home to yours in Portobello, Dublin 8. Together, we craft spaces that feel soulful and alive, and that will stand the test of time. Whether you’re looking for a specific piece or for someone to help manage a full renovation project, we’re excited to get to know each other better.

  • Interior Designer

    Hanna is the guiding hand behind our visual language and spatial planning work. Equal parts intuitive and analytical, she leads the studio’s design vision with an eye for poetry and a deep respect for function.

    Born to Finnish and Portuguese parents and shaped by life in Ireland, Hanna’s design language blends Northern restraint with Southern warmth: elegant, grounded, and unafraid of the unexpected. Her spaces are quietly expressive, where colour, texture, and light are used not only to furnish but also to narrate. Whether designing a tranquil nook or a full home, she creates spaces that feel storied, effortless, and joyfully alive.

  • BusinessDirector

    Peter heads the studio’s sourcing operations, curating unique design pieces through an extensive network of makers, dealers, and couriers across Europe. With a deep knowledge of the Irish and European markets, he expertly blends character, quality, and value, while always remaining attuned to the everyday rituals of living well.

    Peter describes his style as cultured dreaminess, pairing vintage and contemporary pieces to create spaces that feel comfortable, inviting, and full of personality.

    A Cork native with a passion for fashion, music, and European history, Peter strives to broaden the possibilities for interiors in Ireland, introducing a richness and soul to homes through thoughtful curation.

The Studio Experience

At Studio Portobello, we believe that the design development should be as enjoyable as the final results. Building a home is an intimate process, and one that can require significant investments of time and resources. While we take the time to truly understand you, your lifestyle, and your vision, we understand that you may want to experience our work firsthand before getting started.

Our studio is more than a workspace—it is a living gallery of ideas, materials, and pieces that embody our aesthetic. We encourage you to visit us for an in-person conversation, where you can explore the textures, colours, and craftsmanship that define our designs. This tactile experience allows you to connect with the spirit of our work and to begin imagining the possibilities for your own home.

We look forward to welcoming you, sharing ideas, and bringing your vision to life in a way that feels effortless, exciting, and uniquely yours.
