Ian Moris STUDIO

Designing spaces that breathe.

Hello, I'm Ian. I am an interior designer based in the south of the island. I describe my style as lively, warm, biophilic, and meticulously space-planned—each room is crafted with both imagination and precision, blending natural elements with innovative design to foster environments that feel both connected to nature and uniquely personal.Currently, I'm channeling my creative energy into a project that's close to my heart: DESIGN FORWARD. While I work within a steady plan, this initiative gives me the space to experiment and refine my interior design approach. With DESIGN FORWARD, I explore new ideas and test different techniques, always aiming to create interiors that are both practical and inviting. This project is a journey of continuous improvement—a way for me to learn and grow as I focus on designs that truly enhance everyday spaces.STAY TUNED !!!

GURU Cafe

Guru Cafe is a redesigned coffee shop and lounge at a business hotel in Quatre-Bornes, Mauritius. The space utilizes natural tones, wood textures, and strategic lighting to create a welcoming atmosphere. Seating arrangements cater to different group sizes, and biophilic design elements are integrated. The design establishes a visual link with the hotel's lobby.

TAS church

The Tas Church project involves transforming a historic church into a modern residential space while preserving its architectural heritage. The goal is to blend contemporary design elements with the church's original features, creating a functional and comfortable living environment. The project aims to respect the building’s history, incorporating unique design solutions to highlight its character while introducing modern comforts for the homeowners.

Kreol lamp

The Kreol Lamp is a unique lighting piece combining Mauritian cultural heritage with artisanal craftsmanship. The upper part features an authentic ravann drum body with a goat hide top, which allows a warm 2800K light to subtly permeate, in addition to shining through the drum's circular cutouts. The sturdy base is made from local Mimusops coriacea wood, handcarved individually by local artisans using chisels and hammers.Dimensions: Radius 250 mm, Height 160 mm
