We are an independent design studio dedicated to crafting luxury essentials. 

In the ever-evolving landscape of fashion and design, REFERENC aims to defy the constraints of time. It is our testament to the fusion of classic style and innovation with a certain eye for detail—not only through products but also in perceiving the everyday.

REFERENC is our expression of love for the process of creating and making.

We are for the creators: Those who challenge the ideas that shaped us and aim to revolutionize the notions of design, conventions, and formalities.

We reshape the classics to create new ones. And we speak to everyone brave enough to try things differently.

Our community consists of changemakers—ambitious individuals who envision beyond the norms of the past, the constraints of the present, and the potential limits of the future. At REFERENC, we embrace those who boldly pioneer to establish themselves as the new reference in their own right.
