Studio: The people behind the work
A practice without handoffs.
At the core of -scope Ateliers is a team that works closely across disciplines; designers, production specialists, and coordinators who remain involved from the first brief to final production. Ideas are developed, tested, refined, and produced within the same practice.
Founded on a single conviction.
In 2012, Tania Arwachan and Nadim Zablit founded -scope Ateliers around one idea: that design and production should never be separated. What began as a shared practice has evolved into an integrated studio where strategy informs identity, and making informs design. Over the years, that conviction has shaped every project the studio has undertaken, regardless of scale or sector.
Collaboration is at the core
of how we work.
Our team of designers, production specialists, and coordinators work closely across every project. We approach each commission with production in mind from the outset. Materials, finishes, and structures are considered alongside concept, not after it. This proximity between thinking and making is what allows us to deliver work that holds visually, technically, and physically from the first sketch to the finished object.

We do not believe in 'disruption' for the sake of it. Transformation, to us, is about continuity.
