HUGO and Company is a lifestyle brand built on the philosophy of simple, curated living. Design that is mindful of the things we own and the purpose they serve. Personal trumps perfect. Stories over sameness.
HUGO and Company has experience designing dementia care homes and spaces for seniors and carries this knowledge through to clients who may be transitioning into dementia or Alzheimer care homes. Click here for more information.

The name HUGO and Company is a nod to founder Monica de Wit’s heritage – HUGO is a family name and can be found dotted throughout the family tree. It speaks of a Dutch immigrant family with a strong work ethic and simple lifestyle. It is these values that the HUGO and Company brand is built upon.
HUGO’s design manifesto speaks of well-being and the experience a space can provide. Function…values…..stories….the feeling a space creates…and the ability it has to restore our mind and body.

Monica de Wit has spent most of her professional life in the design world. She has a BAA in Fashion Design and a Diploma in Interior Design. Monica started her career over 20 years ago in the fashion industry and held roles such as Designer, Merchandiser, Stylist, Product Manager, Creative Director and Instructor. It was a very natural shift for her to apply her knowledge of textiles, colour theory and design to interiors, and in 2015 founded HUGO and Company.
HUGO and Company offers design with soul…being purposeful with the things we bring into our lives, creating peace and providing clarity in a world full of clutter.

DESIGN
From Consultation to Project Management, HUGO can refresh, redesign or repurpose commercial and residential spaces with function and intent. A room or entire office or home, HUGO can provide guidance on furniture selection and placement, window treatments, colour selection, lighting, building selections, the integration of current belongings and the sourcing of additional pieces to complete the space.
DOWNSIZING & TRANSITION MANAGEMENT
An extension of their design services, HUGO provides downsizing management, working closely with the home owners to edit belongings and work them into a floor plan of the new space. HUGO can provide movers and packers and oversee the selling and dispersal of the unwanted contents in a responsible and sustainable way. Click here for more information.
DESIGN FOR DEMENTIA CARE
Hinging on the design manifesto of creating well being and experiences in a space, HUGO specializes in designing specifically for dementia care. Purposeful selections of colours, knowing when to create contrast, visual cueing and safety are all done with intention and support to people living with dementia.
STYLING
Residential or commercial, HUGO can fine-tune the aesthetics of a space to get it ready for sale, decorate for the holidays, refresh and re-energize, or simply rework existing pieces in a new way.
