Our Story
Design Clinic is a boutique interior design studio based in Port Moresby,
Papua New Guinea, dedicated to delivering innovative, detail-driven design at accessible prices.
Since our founding in 2012 by a collective of design professionals,
we’ve combined our passion for cutting-edge aesthetics with practical, affordable execution across commercial,
residential, hospitality and retail interiors.
Our objective is to be your one-stop design partner, offering seamless solutions from concepts to completion.
With a team of seasoned “design doctors” – experts in architecture, interior design, and project management,
we craft functional, immersive spaces that balance character, ambiance and purpose.
At Design Clinic, great design isn’t luxury, it’s a smart, achievable reality.
