Berlin's YONT Studio on Music, Spaces, and the Art of Setting a Mood

Berlin-based creative studio YONT is revealing the musical influences that shape its approach to interiors, installations, and objects. In a new feature, the studio shares the sounds behind its work—from nostalgic music videos and late-night anthems to tracks that define the atmosphere of a space. The conversation highlights how music serves as a foundational tool for mood-setting in design, bridging the gap between auditory and spatial experiences. YONT's practice, which spans architecture and design, demonstrates how curated playlists and sonic memories can inform material choices, lighting, and spatial flow. This intersection of music and design matters because it shows how multi-sensory thinking can create more immersive and emotionally resonant environments. As the boundaries between creative disciplines continue to blur, YONT's approach offers a fresh perspective on how designers can use music not just as background, but as a core element of the creative process.
