Strongdrwashen began in 2018 in a borrowed corner of a co-working loft. Today we work out of a modest studio overlooking The Piazza, helping individuals and small teams across London think more carefully about where they spend their working hours.
The studio grew out of a side project: a small notebook of measurements taken across friends' home offices during the long winter of 2017. The patterns were too consistent to ignore — chairs always slightly too high, monitors always slightly too close.
We do not sell furniture and we are not tied to any brand. Our only job is to look carefully, measure honestly and write a report that a non-specialist can act on without buying anything they do not need.
Founder and lead analyst. Background in interior design and human-factors research. Eleanor leads on-site visits and writes the bulk of each report.
Studio coordinator and measurement lead. Harvey handles the kit calibration, scheduling and the awkward business of crawling under desks to look at cable runs.
Editor and follow-up specialist. Imogen rewrites every report into language that does not require a glossary, then runs the six-week check-in calls.
A workspace is a habit before it is a layout. We observe normal use first, then comment.
If a number appears in a report, it came from a calibrated tool, not a glance from the doorway.
The cheapest and least disruptive recommendations are always at the top of the list.
We have no affiliate links, no referral fees and no preferred suppliers. Categories only, never brands.
Reports are written for the person who works at the desk, not for a specialist colleague.
We are happy to answer a few questions before you commit to anything. Updated today.
