An independent brand design studio specialising in food and drink, luxury, leisure and hospitality.

We are an independent brand design studio specialising in food and drink, luxury, leisure and hospitality.

Our mission is to make the world a tastier, healthier, more exciting place by creating brands for modern businesses of all sizes.

Founded in 2005 by Philip Koh and Roly Grant, Without bridges the gap between graphic design and strategic consultancy to deliver innovative, commercially effective design.

We want to work with modern
businesses who share our values:

A new way of  working together

Our work works

Our work delivers results because impressive design craft is underpinned by critical thought and commercial awareness.

My brief was ‘show me the future of Marcus Wareing Restaurants’. And this is what Without has done, taking three individual restaurants, with different identities, and aligning them. The past eight months have been an extraordinary journey.
