Pirajean Lees

Pirajean Lees Interior Architecture, Creative Direction, and Bespoke Furniture Editions. Artistic inspiration runs deep through our own stories. TIMELESS. AUTHENTIC.

WHAT MAKE US, US

Founded in 2007 by Clémence Pirajean and James Michael Lees, PIRAJEAN LEES is a London-based interior architecture, creative direction and bespoke editions studio. PIRAJEAN LEES’s projects encompass the private residential, retail and hospitality sectors internationally. With a holistic attitude to each unique project, we collaborate with people who share our passion for enhanci

ng lifestyles, and improving environments through spatial design. Clémence’s family are sculptors and creators, with roots in hospitality, which gave Clémence valuable insights into the industry from an early age. James comes from a line of architects and designers, and attributes his love for storytelling to his early career in film direction and production design.


NEW STORIES. OLD BEGINNINGS.

Each unique commission begins with finding a narrative. People and places come together in a creative thread woven through the project. That could be expressed in the geography of the surrounding landscape. The rediscovery of hidden architectural details. Sometimes, it’s simply by walking through an empty room; imagining what might have been, and now could be. TAILORED

Creatively and emotionally, it’s often the imperfections that spark our imagination – the stumbled-upon elements of the natural world which ignite creativity. An ancient tree reborn as a piece of furniture. A discarded piece of marble reshaped by craftsmanship. The quirks and texture of materials which don’t fit the mould, but ensure every PIRAJEAN LEES piece or space is as unique as it is sustainable – and always bespoke. For each project, every element plays an integral part. The building’s architectural DNA informs the aesthetic; the bespoke decorative items and overall customer experience. It has a lyrical quality – a sense of poetry that runs throughout the brand and interiors, down to the smallest details.


CREATIVE JOURNEYS

From the people we meet. The places we visit,. To the often subtle nuances that define and differentiate each new project. We are always learning and discovering. At every stage of our evolution, artists, makers and craftspeople have been a source of inspiration. These diverse experiences and intriguing stories picked up along the way form the fabric of what PIRAJEAN LEES is about. It’s a truly collaborative, creative journey that we invite our clients to join. This is our vision. This is what makes us, us.

“With their London-based studio, Clémence Pirajean and James Lees work on numerous hotel and restaurant projects. Their instinct for hospitality is equally evident in their private life: the expansive dining areas, shaded seating areas and large swimming pool function less as a showpiece than as a social framework. Guests are always welcome in their home on Formentera.”

“Clémence Pirajean and James Lees brought their narrative design approach to this place created for relaxation.
The couple start all of their projects with a narrative. ‘We’re a family of artists,’ Clémence explains. ‘We spend a lot of time working in an organic way. That idea of who we are as people and how we evolve was the driver for this design.’”

PRESS: Our Formentera holiday home featured in Wallpaper’s ‘Pirajean Lees’ Formentera retreat is designed for barefoot living’.

“The husband and wife founders of London design studio Pirajean Lees have transformed a neglected 1960s house in Formentera into their own relaxed island home… The palette is deliberately quiet, allowing the vivid blue sky and surrounding greenery to take precedence. Natural materials and local craftsmanship form the backdrop, with colour introduced sparingly through furniture, textiles and objects.”

PRESS: Our project Mimi Kakushi Miami mimikakushimiami has been featured in Forbes as part of ‘Why Paris Society Chose The Delano For Its First American Restaurant’.

“Then comes Mimi Kakushi, the apex. The concept draws from 1920s Osaka, a moment when traditional Japanese culture collided with Western influence. That cultural tension defines the cuisine, cocktail program and the pacing of the room. ‘Everything converging into something that takes on a life of its own as the night progresses,’ says Kassim.”

Detailing in our Formentera home.

Sculptural and natural, a response to the surroundings: from the locally sourced, reclaimed dry stone and sabina wood used throughout the architecture and structural elements, the oak joinery, to the bespoke furniture and fittings, crafted by artisans the studio has worked with over many years.

“Pirajean Lees channels 1920s Osaka, the glamorous life of silent film star Sessue Hayakawa, and the breezy spirit of South Florida atop the restored Delano Miami Beach…
Pirajean Lees has reunited with hospitality group Paris Society for the restaurant’s second outpost. Perched on the fourth-floor rooftop overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, the indoor-outdoor destination evokes the coastal ease of Miami Beach while preserving the Japanese references that have become hallmarks of Mimi Kakushi in Dubai. The Delano has long stood as an icon of pared-back modernism, so Pirajean Lees charted another course, enveloping diners in timber, rattan, moody light, and stained glass.”

Revealing our Formentera holiday home.

Nestled at the end of a quiet residential dust track on the edge of a protected natural park in Formentera, we have completed the renovation of our own family home - a deeply personal project that marks a rare opportunity for the studio to turn its narrative design process inward.

Before a single sketch was drawn, we immersed ourselves in the landscape, history and material culture of Formentera - a process that led us to the Sabina tree, a sculptural, salt-resistant species native to the Balearics whose wind-twisted trunks have come to embody the island’s quietly defiant character.

“Clémence and James first fell in love with the neighbouring island of Ibiza 20 years ago and owned a house there. They would take day trips to Formentera and eventually decided its laid-back pace better suited their family’s lifestyle... The goal was to return it to being somewhere multiple generations could enjoy spending time together.”

“Before drawing a single sketch, the pair immersed themselves in the landscape, history and material culture of Formentera. In the process, they became drawn to the sabina tree, a sculptural, salt-resistant species native to the Balearics, known for its wind-shaped trunks. Over time, the tree has become a quiet symbol of the island’s resilience.

It also became the starting point for the house itself: a structure shaped by its surroundings, yet deeply rooted in place. That balance between sculpture and resilience shaped the house throughout.”

“The couple behind Pirajean Lees studio have brought their narrative approach to design to their own holiday home on the island of Formentera…
A type of tree known as the sabina grows on the Balearic Islands. Tough yet flexible, its trunk is shaped by the elements, with the winds, sun and salt air twisting it into sculptural shapes. The house on Formentera owned by Clémence Pirajean and James Lees was made using its timber. The couple, who founded the interior-architecture and furniture-design studio Pirajean Lees, start all of their projects with a narrative. Here, this resilient tree gave them their story.”
