Summer 2018

78 Professional P&P Interiors is a London-based company specialising in high- end interior design and the management of renovations for clients based in London, France, Belgium and Switzerland. This year, the company received the LUX Leading Designers award for Renovation and Interior Design Services. For LUX’s summer issue, we speak with P&P founders Pascale Crangle and Pascale Sola, to learn more about their approach to their award winning services. “Do clients ever confuse us with each other? Yes, it happens,” says Pascale Crangle, referring to her P&P Interiors co-founder, Pascale Sola. “It’s because of our names, and maybe our accents,” she adds with a laugh. Clients may confuse the Pascales, but it’s their diverse experience and backgrounds, that make these French natives such a formidable team. Pascale Sola trained in luxury sales, while Pascale Crangle had a corporate career in finance management. “What brought us together as friends is our shared passion for design,” says Pascale Sola. “Over time, we realised that our complimentary skills could make for a successful partnership.” Their instincts were right. Since opening their doors 8 years ago the team has overseen an impressive array of innovative renovation projects, including the design and manufacture of bespoke furniture. In a crowded industry, P&P Interiors remains competitive through their unparalleled focus on service. As Pascale Crangle explains, “we bring a structured approach to our clients that is professional but also down to earth, creative and functional.” With all P&P Interiors projects, collaboration has always been key. The pair begins each engagement by seeking to understand their client’s vision, the project’s purpose, the timelines and budget. Then, applying their vast knowledge of design and renovation, they develop initial concepts and ideas, which they present to the client for feedback. 3D illustrations and mood boards are created to show what the finished project would look like. Options are refined, and architectural and structural drawings are rendered. Depending on needs, P&P Interiors will partner with their clients’ appointed architects and contractors, or assemble a team. “It takes an extraordinary effort, from multiple people, to complete a great renovation,” says Pascale Sola, “and we are lucky to work with some of the best talent in the field.” “Despite a growing number of awards and accolades, customs satisfaction remains the 1805LU06
