The true luxury in life is time.

O'Hare & D'Jafer creates large-scale bespoke art commissions, handcrafted architectural surfaces, and material-led installations for maritime, hospitality and private residential interiors. Founded in London in 1999, the studio has produced work for clients across the UK, USA, Europe, the Far East and the Middle East.

The studio is built on three principles: Curiosity, Creativity, and Craftsmanship. We collaborate with art consultants, architects, interior designers and private clients to produce unique commissions for luxury yachts, automotive interiors and private residences. The majority of our work is designed and realised in-house

Mevlit D'Jafer — Founder & Creative Director

Every commission starts with research. Mevlit leads the creative and research practice: a material innovator, highly skilled painter and technical practitioner whose work begins in museum collections and ends in the hands of the world's most discerning clients. The Napoleon Leather Chandelier began with a visit to the Louvre. The Peony Plate screen began at the British Museum. A recent four-metre mixed-media tapestry, carrying over a million embroidery stitches, began in the deserts of the Arabian Peninsula. Mevlit holds a first-class honours degree from Birmingham College of Art and an MA from the Royal College of Art.

Stephen O'Hare — Commercial Director & Co-Founder

For 26 years, Stephen's role has been the same to ensure the work we conceive is the work that is delivered — to spec, on time, and beyond expectation. That comes from being directly involved in the finishing of many of our projects. A decade in fashion — designing, sourcing, developing materials across Hong Kong, Korea, Pakistan, Taiwan, India and Morocco — gave him the commercial and material discipline that runs through every commission.
