Studio Cédric Etienne is a multidisciplinary design studio headquartered in the port city of Antwerp, specializing in meditation spaces, interior design, hospitality design, furniture and product design, as well as creative direction collaborations. Founded by Cédric Etienne, the studio is dedicated to reconnecting individuals with inner tranquility in the fast-paced modern world, blending serene and harmonious spatial concepts to create immersive design narratives that bring peace and comfort to contemporary life. Each project begins with a design manifesto, drawing inspiration from sacred architecture and engaging in a dialogue between minimalism and the traces of time, crafting spaces that evoke emotional resonance and provide modern individuals with a sanctuary to return to their inner selves.

Cédric Etienne's professional journey began with set design and event planning for luxury brands. In the high-pressure environment of the fashion industry, he gradually explored the meaning of a slower-paced life. In 2015, he participated in a ten-day meditation retreat in Japan, where he discovered the concept of "Ma" (間) from the daily rituals of Buddhists—a spiritual notion of paused time and spatial emptiness—which became the foundation of his design philosophy. In 2017, he founded the brand Corkinho, dedicated to integrating Portuguese natural cork, a material known for its warm texture and acoustic properties, into modern interior design. Through the application of this material, Etienne infuses contemporary spaces with tranquility and depth, creating relaxing interiors and exquisite objects.

Studio Cédric Etienne advocates for a direct dialogue between design and the senses, enabling people to rediscover the significance of the present moment in a fast-paced society. Its works not only offer visual and functional enjoyment but also guide individuals to cultivate a deeper perception of their inner space. As part of the studio's philosophy, Etienne regularly hosts meditation sessions and invites yoga and meditation instructors to share contemplative rituals and wisdom in the studio's dedicated meditation room, further exploring the beauty of stillness.
