About the Studio

Founding Vision

Cress Truck formed in 2018 when architect Élodie Cresson and interior designer Marco Truck combined practices to specialise exclusively in hospitality interior concepts.

The studio name merges their surnames signalling partnership equality in creative direction across every commission.
