Their interiors span elegant London residences to immersive installations, where colour, texture and bespoke elements evoke both escapism and intimacy. In a recent project, a Marylebone pied-à-terre in a period building became a painterly, artful space through layered paint effects, a sketch-like powder room mural and Cocteau-inspired mosaics, creative gestures that blend surprise with refined framing.

A closer look at their creative process in the Q&A below.

Scott: We met on a dancefloor in 1996 and discovered early on that we work best when we approach things from different angles. That mix of perspectives became the blueprint for Maddux Creative. By 2011, we’d built such a natural creative shorthand that launching the studio felt like the next logical step.

Jo: We’ve always treated collaboration like dancing,  trust your partner, respond to the rhythm, and be ready for a little improvisation.

Scott: 3AM has that heightened, slightly surreal quality - the world feels both quieter and more intense. We wanted to capture that mood and, for once, without the parameters of a client brief, we could push it wherever we wanted.

Jo: Working with partners we love, like Fromental for the enveloping Ligetti wall covering and George Smith for the sinuous sofas, meant the craftsmanship could be as indulgent as the concept. We layered in shifts of light, tactile fabrics and small details that revealed themselves slowly. It was a chance to be entirely ourselves -  pure, unfiltered Maddux Creative.

Scott: Bold colour needs balance. We often anchor it to one architectural feature or key piece of furniture so it becomes a focal point. Surround it with neutrals or textured finishes to give the eye somewhere to rest.

Jo: I push a colour to its full strength first, then layer in natural materials wood, stone, or a chalky wall finish  to soften it. Pairing it with an unexpected tone makes it feel deliberate and layered.

Jo: Early in our career, we managed a project across time zones with a constantly shifting brief. It forced us to refine our communication, make decisive calls, and put the right people in place.

Scott: We learned that design is as much about problem-solving and diplomacy as it is about aesthetics and that having a clear process keeps the creative vision intact, even in tricky situations.

Scott: We don’t design to trends; we design for longevity. We choose forms with purpose, materials that age well, and craftsmanship that will last.

Jo: A future heirloom might be as small as a hand-carved stool or as bold as a custom dining table - it’s about making something you’ll still want to live with in decades to come.

Jo: I favour materials with texture and life: velvets that shift in the light, handwoven textiles, metals that develop a patina. Imperfections add character and make a room feel lived-in from day one.

Jo: Maison by Maddux Creative distils our interiors ethos into a collection of sculptural furniture, lighting, and textiles. Many of these pieces have existed in one-off form in our past projects, refined over the years through client commissions. Bringing them together in a cohesive collection allows us to share designs that have already proved their longevity and versatility. Each piece is conceived with the same rigour, craftsmanship, and layering of references as our interiors — designed to feel collected rather than ‘bought all at once’. The collection plays with form and material in ways that invite touch and interaction, using finishes that age beautifully and silhouettes that hold their presence without overwhelming a room.

Scott: This is our way of sharing the bespoke spirit of Maddux Creative with a wider audience. Every design in Maison has a clear role -  whether as an anchor piece or a quiet punctuation  and is made to last for decades, evolving alongside the lives and interiors it inhabits. It’s about creating pieces that feel both of the moment and destined to become part of someone’s personal history.
