Studio Periscope is an industrial design studio based in Melbourne, Australia. We develop playful and creative solutions, underpinned with engineering and manufacturing know-how.

We believe responsible outcomes require creative thinking.

We practise impact-aware design, evaluating the commercial, social, environmental and emotional impacts of decisions throughout our design process.

Founded in 2006, our portfolio spans a diverse range of product categories. We collaborate with trusted suppliers and together continuously seek out innovative materials and better manufacturing processes for our clients and the planet.  

To achieve great design you need a dedicated team with a mix of skills
