Most projects start with a conversation.
How collaboration typically begins
This may involve understanding the space, the stage of the project, and where material or surface decisions can add clarity.
Early alignment helps determine whether commissioning, adaptation, or an existing work is the right approach.
No formal brief is required at the outset.

What collaboration supports
Gulzoe is often engaged for:
- Architectural wall and surface applications
- Textile-led interior elements
- Custom adaptations of existing works
- Limited objects integrated into specific spaces
Work is developed to sit comfortably within broader interior schemes and timelines.
A useful place to begin
Not every project requires commissioning.
To support early clarity, Gulzoe offers a short reference guide outlining when commissioning is most effective, what information helps a conversation begin, and how scope is typically defined.
The guide can be reviewed independently or shared with a designer or architect as part of early project discussions.


Begin the conversation
If you’re exploring surfaces, textiles, or objects for an upcoming project, you’re welcome to get in touch.
Sharing a few lines about the space, timeline, or design intent is usually enough to begin.
Starting a conversation
Some projects begin with an instinct rather than a defined outcome.
Early conversations can help translate an idea, mood, or direction into surfaces, textiles, or objects that hold it with clarity.
Not everything needs to be visible at the start.
It’s common to know what a space should feel like before knowing what it should contain.
Exploratory conversations allow new directions to emerge without forcing decisions too early.
This is often where the most relevant work begins.
Some spaces benefit from work developed specifically for them.
Others are better served by adapting existing pieces.
Early discussion helps identify whether commissioning, adaptation, or acquisition makes the most sense — without locking the project into a path too soon.
Not all work starts from reference images.
Conversations may begin around scale, movement, light, or how a space is intended to be used.
These cues often guide material and form more effectively than finished visuals.
Some conversations lead to immediate action.
Others remain open until the project reaches the right stage.
Both are part of the way work develops, and neither requires premature commitment.
