Meet Your Designer - Inês

People, place
and possibility.

I’m Inês Munday. I see how closely people, place, identity and change are connected.

I’m a designer, curious about people and happiest when I’m exploring how something could work better. I love getting to know the person behind a project: the routines, the hopes and the little things that make a space their own.

A little about me

Understanding what matters.
Transforming what’s possible.

I’m Inês (pronounced E-ne-jj), founder of Inescapable Design and an international award-winning designer. My background in health and social care taught me to listen beyond the obvious and understand what people truly need. Product design taught me to solve problems and make every detail work, while my grounding in sustainable futures brings longevity and thoughtful choices into every project.

This means I bring more than a particular look. I give you clarity through the decisions and create a joined-up design that reflects who you are. Whether reshaping one room or transforming an entire home, the result is distinctive, deeply personal and designed to feel right for years to come.

After all, your home should do more than look beautiful. It should feel unmistakably yours and make everyday life work better.

Designer & maker · Synergy

A desk designed around
different ways of working.

Winning a 2020 SIT Furniture Design Award for Synergy is something I’m incredibly proud of. I designed and made the desk in ash, with carefully considered features that support a range of ways to work.

Making it brought the design decisions into my hands: the feel of the timber, the proportions and how each feature would be used. That connection between an idea and its everyday experience still shapes the way I design interiors.

What matters to me

Beautiful things.
Thoughtfully chosen.

I believe a home should reflect who we are, respect what came before and leave room for who we are becoming. Sometimes that means keeping a much-loved piece. Sometimes it means making a substantial change.

I love craftsmanship, patina and the individuality of something well made. For me, luxury is about the pleasure and lasting value a thing brings: a beautiful material, an antique find, or a detail that makes everyday life easier. Care for resources belongs naturally in those decisions.

I’d love to hear about you, your home and what you have in mind.

Let’s talk about your home

Your home. Your next chapter.

Let’s begin with
what matters to you.

A single decision, a room to rethink, or a whole home to transform.
