Jonathan Carey Design

Based in Yorkshire, Jonathan Carey Design constructs corporate lobbies and hospitality workspaces through expressive non-orthogonal partitions, dark segmented joinery, and mirrored overhead surfaces that multiply light and spatial height. This body of work provides a clear reference when integrating media displays directly into living planted assemblies or specifying tactile, broken-counter reception entries for collaborative environments.
