Penny Martin: When did you first move into your studio?
Preen: We moved into the studio in June 2004.
PM: What made you choose it?
P: It's big, airy and compartmental.
PM: What are the different roles of the people working in your studio?
P: Designers, production, research - basically everything!!
PM: Please describe what happens there on a typical day.
P: Chaotic creativity. No typical day.
PM: How did the appearance/décor of your studio come about? Did it evolve spontaneously, or was it designed?
P: We designed it.
PM: Is there something about your studio that inspires your work or is it purely a practical space?
P: Both, we love the fact that there's a tube line running past it. It brings new energy in every 10 minutes, in every direction.
