Co-Founder & Chief Design Officer – Dixon Rye
Background
Peter Huesemann Odom is a cofounder of Studio Dixon Rye, where he works across both the design studio and the retail side of the business. With a background rooted in Europe and formal training in interior design, Peter brings a technical and spatial perspective to the practice.
His path into the studio began through collaboration with Bradley, eventually joining the business full time and helping shape its evolution into a unified entity. The transition to Studio Dixon Rye marked a shift toward a shared vision, where both partners contribute equally to the direction of the work.
Approach
Peter approaches design through structure, functionality, and a deep understanding of how spaces operate. His perspective often focuses on planning, flow, and the technical aspects that allow a design to function seamlessly.
He places strong emphasis on craftsmanship and the process behind how things are made. This includes an interest in materials, construction, and the relationship between different elements within a space. His work often centers on areas such as kitchens and bathrooms, where precision and performance are essential.
At the same time, Peter’s approach complements Bradley’s more layered sensibility, creating a balance between concept and execution. This dynamic allows Studio Dixon Rye to produce work that is both expressive and grounded.
Beyond Design
Peter’s influences extend beyond interiors into art, music, and broader cultural experiences. He is closely connected to the art world, frequently engaging with galleries, exhibitions, and artists, both locally and through travel.
Music also plays an important role in his creative process, with a constant interest in discovering new artists and exploring different forms of media. This ongoing exposure to culture informs how ideas develop and translate into physical space.
Through his work, Peter contributes to a design approach that is informed by observation, collaboration, and a continuous exchange of ideas across disciplines.
