Studio Sixty Two Limited Awards for 2019. Initially envisioned to meet the demand for world-standard interiors in East Africa, Studio 62 was established in 2002, since then the firm has worked on a diverse portfolio of successful interior planning projects. Today, this passionate studio of talented, innovative designers offers bespoke, intergrated interior planning services for projects of all sizes and budgets. Every aspect of the interior design and planning can be undertaken, from initial conception through to the finished space. From the intuitive aspects of a project, like picking the perfect art piece to crown a space, or choosing the soft furnishings to completely transform a room, through to residential interior planning and space assessment, Studio 62 can completely transform any property thanks to its creative talents.
Supported by this creative team is Principal Suzanne Watts, who leads the firm and draws on over 25 years of professional interior planning experience to create spectacular spaces for her clients. Specialising in hospitality design, the firm also boasts a vast portfolio of completed hospitality projects, and is proud to have worked with some of the largest hotel groups across Africa. Such success is impressive given the market that the firm operates in. Whilst the African property market has slowed in recent years, Studio 62 has worked hard to support the recent boom in individuals seeking to build their own homes.

Another key area of the market that the studio focuses on is sustainability. As a member of the Kenya Green Building Society, Studio 62 works tirelessly to ensure that it creates spaces that are both beautiful and sustainable. Suzanne is deeply passionate about sustainability
These clients are well travelled and want to have homes equal to what they see elsewhere in the world: and the reality is they can, but the process needs to be

This passion for the environment is entwinned with her love of design, and as a result she often does talks on sustainability in the design market to share her industry knowledge and expertise with her industry peers. One recent presentation was at the Kohler Design Forum, where Suzanne spoke on the topic of Experiential Luxury. Her talk, entitled Experiential Luxury: Issues of Sustainability and Authenticity, allowed her to discuss this topic with her fellow designers and to share her theories and ideas.
Seeking to build upon its current success, over the coming years Studio 62 will be expanding geographically throughout Africa, providing its award-winning service offering to an even wider range of clients. The firm is set to complete its first project in the Democratic Republic of Congo- a 5 star hotel for the Serena Lodges and Hotels group- over the coming months, and this will help drive it to even greater global renown. Whilst the firm has previously worked in Tanzania and Uganda as well as Kenya, it is eager to move into new regions, including Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Ultimately, this expansion will help Studio 62 to achieve its mission: to deliver the highest international standard of professional practice whilst remaining true to its roots.

Ultimately, this move towards greater technology is only fuelling even greater growth for the wedding industry. After all, weddings are a serious affair in Africa, having a rich history that traces way back in time. In many African cultures, weddings are a long tradition with deep cultural, social and religious significance, a trend which is still prevalent today. The only difference is unlike traditional weddings of the yesteryears, today’s weddings are modern, elegant and contemporary. The current generation of couples are tech savvy and have been deeply influenced by the internet and television. Heavy spending witnessed on weddings is a reflection of celebrity culture that is widely shared on mass media platforms. Couples now use the internet to organize their weddings and, as a result, some entrepreneurs have ventured into online wedding planning and vendor directories. Using the internet, couples can easily get information about service providers and plan their budgets. Weddings in Africa have now become a way for couples to impress their friends and peers. Widespread internet use, especially social media channels such as Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, have helped to launch the wedding industry to new heights. Cocoon Events will be working hard to integrate technology into its future plans to ensure that it provides clients with connected, social media worthy events.
