Founded in 2017, Shan Shan Lim Studios is a creative design practice led by Malaysian textile designer, Shan Shan Lim. Servicing a global clientele, their work spans several mediums, industries, and cultures — from textile artworks and sustainable fabrics to hand-painted murals and art prints.
Finding home in threads, walls and spaces alike, all their creations are tactile and timeless. We are rooted in the intuition of shape and the harmony of colour.
