The DECO Mantra is simple… Be inspired! Conceive, believe, achieve… 

 

The Inspiration room is where the energy flows and where we meet, greet and bounce ideas. DECO started with two fresh faced hopeful entrepreneurs from University College London who travelled the world and decided that alfresco living was their passion! They have spent 16 years building a successful company with various brands and are continually looking to take the alfresco experience to new levels. At DECO we like to maintain the start up vibe, it keeps us agile and fosters new and creative ideas. 

 

The DECO Team is full of beans, friendly, ambitious, cohesive and focused. Our workspaces and everything we do embodies the alfresco culture and spirit and our indoor-outdoor offices and garden area allow us to work close to the elements. 

 

The only thing constant is change and as such we are not set in our ways. We like to see ourselves at the forefront of adopting new technologies, a place where east meets west, old meets new, a fusion of tech and commerce an innovative forward thinking collection of minds.
