Where craftsmanship meets technology
We are a creative studio that believes in the power of bold ideas and meticulous craft. Every project is an opportunity to push boundaries.
Chinchilla Design is a multidisciplinary studio at the intersection of digital fabrication and traditional craftsmanship. Founded with the belief that technology should enhance rather than replace human creativity, we create work that pushes the boundaries of what's possible while honoring time-tested techniques passed down through generations.
Our approach combines parametric design and CNC precision with hands-on woodworking and material expertise. From architectural installations and exhibition pavilions to brand identities and spatial experiences, every project begins with deep research and ends with meticulous execution. We believe constraints breed creativity, and we embrace the challenge of making the complex feel effortless.
Based in Vancouver and working globally, we partner with clients who share our passion for meaningful design. Whether it's a tiny house that redefines sustainable living or a vineyard brand rooted in place, we bring the same level of care and craft to every collaboration.
