YODEZEEN has established itself as one of the most recognisable names in contemporary luxury architecture and interior design. Founded in 2010 by Artem Zverev and Artur Sharf, the international studio has built a portfolio covering high-end private residences, hospitality destinations, restaurants, commercial spaces and large-scale developments across multiple continents.

The Evolution of a Global Design Studio
Since its foundation, YODEZEEN has evolved from an architecture and design practice into a global studio capable of handling projects at very different scales and in very different markets. Its current portfolio ranges from private homes and apartments to hotels, resorts, restaurants, yachts and private jets, demonstrating the breadth of its expertise.
The result is a studio that operates not simply as an architectural practice, but as a creative partner for clients looking to develop highly individual luxury environments.
Creating Immersive Luxury Experiences
YODEZEEN’s approach to luxury design goes beyond creating visually impressive spaces. The studio focuses heavily on the experience created by architecture and interiors, using materials, proportions, lighting, furniture and decorative elements to influence how people interact with their surroundings.
This philosophy is particularly visible in YODEZEEN’s hospitality projects. MOI in London, completed in 2025, combines Mexican and Japanese influences with organic forms, earthy materials and dynamic lighting. A sculptural snake-shaped chandelier, custom-made islands and a distinctive staircase transform the restaurant into an experiential environment rather than simply a dining space. The project subsequently received recognition at the LIV Hospitality Design Awards 2025.
Luxury Residential Design and Bespoke Solutions
Residential architecture remains a major part of YODEZEEN’s portfolio, with projects developed for private clients.
YODEZEEN’s residential process also extends into furniture, lighting, textiles and decorative elements, with the studio managing sourcing, procurement, logistics and installation as part of its wider service. This is particularly significant from a commercial perspective because it means furniture is not an afterthought within the studio’s projects. It forms part of the overall design process and can be specified according to the particular requirements of each client and space.
For luxury furniture brands, this creates an environment where bespoke pieces and distinctive statement furniture can become genuine components of the architectural concept.
YODEZEEN’s Growing Influence Across the Middle East and Hospitality
The Middle East represents one of the most important opportunities within YODEZEEN’s current international strategy. The studio’s AMEA operation focuses on luxury residential, real estate and hospitality projects across Africa, the Middle East and Asia, combining architecture, interior design, master planning and FF&E procurement.
Its portfolio in the region includes projects in Dubai, Riyadh, Abu Dhabi and the Maldives, alongside large-scale developments such as Nurai Island in Abu Dhabi. The Nurai Island concept encompasses private villas, apartments, restaurants, beach clubs, pools and a modern spa across a 42-hectare island environment, illustrating the scale and complexity of projects that YODEZEEN is capable of undertaking.
This combination of luxury residential and hospitality expertise makes YODEZEEN particularly relevant to brands capable of supplying high-end furniture for villas, resorts, restaurants and other premium environments.
YODEZEEN and the Opportunity for Luxury Furniture Collaboration
From a commercial perspective, YODEZEEN represents a particularly strong potential partner for a luxury furniture brand such as Boca do Lobo. The connection is not based simply on the fact that both companies operate within the luxury design sector, but on the compatibility between their creative philosophies.
YODEZEEN’s global project pipeline also creates the possibility of a relationship that extends beyond a single project. Establishing the brand as a trusted supplier for selected projects could create opportunities across multiple markets, particularly in the Middle East and other regions where the studio is currently expanding its presence.
Conclusion
For Boca do Lobo, YODEZEEN should therefore be viewed as a high-potential long-term commercial lead. The most compelling positioning would focus on craftsmanship, bespoke customization and statement design, presenting Boca do Lobo as a creative partner capable of contributing distinctive furniture to some of YODEZEEN’s most ambitious projects around the world.
