Weaving stories through designs that celebrate craftsmanship.

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