About Designrock | Design Studio Bristol & Taunton
Sustainable Design Practice | Commercial Interiors & Exhibition Stands
Who We Are
Designrock is a Bristol and Taunton-based design studio founded by Dan and Susie, specialising in commercial interior design and exhibition architecture. With 29 years experience, we serve clients across the UK and internationally, creating sustainable spaces for hospitality, retail, office and trade show environments. Our approach balances creative vision with environmental responsibility, delivering projects on time and within budget while minimising ecological impact.
Our Philosophy & Approach
We believe exceptional design - whether a Bristol restaurant interior, an exhibition stand in Paris, or a corporate office in London - should be sustainable, functional and timeless. Communication and collaboration drive our process: we work closely with clients, trusted suppliers and specialist contractors to deliver cohesive results. Our commitment to sustainability isn't superficial; we've developed proprietary solutions like HIVE System® a modular exhibition architecture that reduces waste through reusability and consistently specify eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient systems and responsible construction methods across all projects.
What Makes Us Different
We don't chase fleeting design trends, apply cookie-cutter solutions or over-engineer spaces. Each project receives tailored attention aligned with your specific goals, brand identity and operational requirements. Our Bristol and Somerset workshops handle bespoke fabrication, giving us quality control and flexibility that remote contractors can't match. We've designed everything from retail interiors to museum installations, boutique interiors to global trade show programmes - diverse experience that informs creative problem-solving for every new challenge.
Experience & Expertise
Our portfolio spans multiple sectors: hospitality venues across Bristol and Bath, international exhibition programmes for defence and technology companies, estate agency offices, educational displays for UK universities and museum exhibitions including permanent installations at the Royal Armouries Leeds. We manage complete turnkey delivery - from initial concepts through manufacturing, installation and ongoing support - or integrate seamlessly with your existing teams for design-only consultancy. Whether you're a Bristol business seeking local interior designers or an international corporation requiring exhibition design, our experience scales to your needs.
Bristol & Taunton Studios
