About Bespoke Only LLC
Bespoke Only is a Brooklyn-based design firm founded by Melissa Lee. Since 2012, the firm has created spaces with a unique experience-focused approach to understated luxury.
Bespoke Only has an intuitive approach to design and values capturing and working out the intangibles of space. The studio strives to create an atmosphere and avenue to build relationships within a space rather than pure visuals statements. Their ability to create transportive experiences is one of their greatest strengths, translating concepts into materials and forms that are at once functional but deeply experiential in addressing all senses. An experience that evokes emotions, conjures distant memories and connects with people on a personal level is what they seek to create with every concept.
The core of Bespoke Only’s design philosophy is the belief that each space is active and organic, unfolding as people study and react to it intimately. The pursuit of simplicity and harmony is a hallmark in their work, as is the respect for negative space, which they believe allows for the continuous evolution of spaces and their inhabitants. The firm is also known for its distinctive “new romantic” aesthetic, where the exploration of emotion is viewed as the center of design and creating as a way of feeling.
The studio's portfolio boasts an eclectic collection of projects, ranging from luxurious hospitality settings to innovative residential designs, spanning across the Northeast and California. Their work has been featured in Architectural Digest, Elle Décor, Vogue, Conde Nast Traveler, SURFACE, Design Milk, Domino and Whitewall.
