“STUDIO” is a lifestyle venue that caters to artists, entrepreneurs, and professionals that enjoy the finer things in life - they appreciate good food, music, art, and design and they especially value human connection.

The brand believes that exclusivity is attractive, where success can be determined by who you know and not by what you know. Especially because the real world is only about boardrooms and offices whereas “STUDIO” is in the business of people who desire to lead their best lives.
