In this edition of Design Dialogues, Fublis is pleased to feature Lapis Bureau (LxB), an interdisciplinary design studio founded in 2015 by landscape architect Freddy Curiél. With roots in the rich design culture of Italy and a strong presence in the dynamic urban environments of Shenzhen and Hong Kong, LxB brings a unique global perspective to contemporary architecture and design.
LxB brings a deeply thoughtful, cross-disciplinary approach to design—blending architecture, interiors, landscape, and product design into seamless, holistic experiences. At its core, the studio thrives on the edges—between scales, between disciplines, between cultures—and it’s precisely in those margins that their most innovative ideas emerge.
Led by Freddy’s sharp eye for detail and passion for sustainability, Lapis Bureau doesn’t just ask what a project should look like—they begin with how it should work. Whether it’s a serene urban landscape, an elegant interior, or a bold architectural statement, their work is always grounded in purpose, functionality, and craftsmanship. Their team is a rich mosaic of architects, designers, and engineers, collaborating across continents to deliver thoughtful, globally-minded solutions.
What sets LxB apart is their ability to merge creativity with technical precision, and their belief that no design element is too small to matter. It’s not about trends—it’s about meaningful, future-oriented design. With accolades ranging from international design awards to sustainability recognitions, Lapis Bureau continues to shape spaces that are as intelligent as they are inspiring. In their world, design never sleeps—and neither does curiosity.
In this conversation, we explore the studio’s design ethos, their approach to collaboration across continents, and the values that continue to shape their innovative body of work. Lapis Bureau’s story is one of curiosity, craft, and a relentless pursuit of meaningful design.
