The Studio

A warehouse chair
in Northcote.

As of June 2024, Ziyad relocated from twelve years on High Street to a raw industrial warehouse at 1/10 Langwells Parade, Northcote — a space that matches the work: stripped back, characterful, nothing to hide behind.

Black steel columns, white ribbed walls, polished concrete floors, tall factory windows. One chair. The calm, refined ambiance is designed to make you feel completely at ease.
