Bringing the power of interior design to the places that need it most.

Social Scene is SCENE’s impact-led design initiative. It focuses on creating high-quality interiors for communities that are often overlooked—like schools, housing associations and care homes. We offer design services either pro bono or at low cost, depending on the project, with a focus on work that drives long-term social impact.

WHO WE WORK WITH

Housing associations - Local authorities - Schools & academies - Charities & non-profits - Youth centres - Care providers - Rehabilitation programmes.

  • Design for All

    Everyone deserves access to inspiring spaces. We work with housing associations, education trusts, charities and community groups to improve the places where people live, learn and gather.

  • Breaking Barriers

    Social Scene also supports the next generation of designers—especially those from underrepresented backgrounds. We provide career access, mentoring and hands-on experience through live community projects.

  • Sustainable Thinking

    We rethink how spaces are used—not just how they look. Circular principles guide our approach, from reusing materials to designing for long-term use and low-impact maintenance.

This isn’t just a side project.

It’s part of our studio’s core mission: to prove that design can be a tool for equity, inclusion and progress—not just aesthetics.
