After completing architectural training in the UK, Robin Wycherley relocated to Helsinki, Finland. Here he freelanced for architect's offices in both countries and established Itu Design in 2007. Four years later, a stint with a leading Finnish interior design firm focused Robin's attention on interior architecture for the first time. Fascinated by the processes, roles and diverse international aspects of corporate office design, the direction of Itu Design became clear.
Euroclear, Helsinki, 2013. Itu Design's first office interior.
In 2013, Itu Design undertook its first office project, designing the Euroclear Helsinki office interior, marking the start of our journey into corporate design. Since then, we've evolved into specialists in interior office projects, workplace planning, change management, and strategic consultancy. Our work extends to consulting for construction leaders such as YIT and facilitating numerous leasing endeavors with global teams.
With our focus on customer service and value, our structured processes ensure consistent, precise delivery of services that surpass client expectations. The company is lead by it's founder, Robin Wycherley, with the support of a skilled team of experts.
'Itu' means 'sprout' or 'new shoot' in Finnish. 'Itu' represents our commitment to fostering development – transforming projects from seedling ideas into flourishing, realised spaces. 'Itu' captures our dedication to collaboration, fairness, and responsibility.

Hybrid working patterns made a move back to his home of Girona Spain easy to implement, with Ricard making frequent trips to meet the team both in Finland and abroad at fairs.
