STUDIO ~ ABOUT
Dreamers & Shakers specialise in creativity
Dreamers & Shakers is a full-service interior and industrial design studio founded by Prue Dabelstein, and based in Sydney, Australia. With a passion for creating luxurious and dream-like design experiences, our studio specialises in creating spaces that capture the essence of imagination and timelessness.
At Dreamers & Shakers, we believe that design at its core is about enhancing the lives of people. Function and a profound understanding of human behaviour are always our top priorities. We seamlessly blend function and form in our designs, resulting in a beautiful dance that brings practicality and aesthetic appeal together.
Immersive experiences are our forte. We dedicate our time to deeply understand what truly resonates with individuals—what moves them, brings them joy, comfort, a sense of calm, or rejuvenates their spirit. We draw inspiration from a multitude of sources, including various time periods, films, scents, and even the emotional response evoked by a particular song.
No two projects are the same, as we embrace the uniqueness of each client. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to design at Dreamers & Shakers. We believe in tailoring our creations to reflect the distinct personality and desires of our clients, ensuring their space becomes a true reflection of their individuality and aspirations
STUDIO ~ PROCESS
-
Before we start designing, D&S have to understand the project site, the client and what the clients end result would ideally be
-
The beginning of the journey. D&S love to spend time thinking about the potential narrative of the space. A deep dive into material exploration, layouts of spaces and research. This is compiled into a document and presented to the client
-
After the client is on board with the concept direction, layouts, materials and research are compiled together to create 3D sketches of the spaces, along with coloured elevations, materials palette, decorative lighting direction and corresponding schedules.
-
Once the design is signed off on, documentation for builders begins. This becomes the package used on site during construction to direct the trades on all the details throughout the project to bring the vision to reality !
-
periodic meetings with builders & trades to make sure everything is going to plan and advise if we come across any hiccups
-
All the bits & bobs that bring a place to life! this can be as little or as big as the clients wishes.

art direction
soft materials (cushions & curtains)
