I Didn't Preach Design, I Rewired It

The SIXiDER Show EP20
17 August, 2025

What if interior design wasn’t just functional—but experiential?


In this episode, we sit down with Dennis Cheok, the visionary creative behind UPSTRS_ (Upstairs_), a design studio celebrated for its bold, immersive, and sensorial spatial narratives. Known for turning everyday spaces into theatrical experiences, Dennis shares his design philosophy, the art of controlled chaos, and why good design must evoke.


We explore his most daring concepts, his thoughts on risk and storytelling in design, and how to push boundaries while still solving a brief. Dennis also opens up about the tension between creative vision and commercial reality—and how to design spaces that feel like a film set but live like a home.


✨ If you love design that breaks rules, stirs emotions, and sparks curiosity—don’t miss this.
