Our Design Philosophy

At Less Than 3, our approach to design is rooted in the belief that creating memorable spaces goes beyond aesthetics; it intertwines various facets to form a cohesive whole. We view the design process as a collaborative and dynamic interplay of elements, where the immersive visual experience is at the core of our work.

Our philosophy is grounded in the understanding that the ambiance we craft is an integral part of the hospitality industry. We don't just design backgrounds; we curate environments that resonate with your brand and style. Striving for authenticity and transparency, our collaborative process begins with comprehending your vision and business needs. We prioritize direct communication, timely execution, and hands-on prototyping over elaborate presentations, fostering an environment where ideas evolve seamlessly. Join us in redefining the visual landscape of your restaurant, where each installation is a testament to timeless design principles, and the success of our work is reflected in the enduring satisfaction of our clients.
