Tres Encinas is a well-known seafood and fish restaurant serving since 1967. In 2010, Autoban redesigned the interior with a focus on being true to local materials- the essential base of the Arts and Crafts movement- concentrating on tiles, furniture, glass and metalwork. The ceiling recalls Art Nouveau with an ornamental metal lattice, a feature continued to the design of the doors separating the main dining rooms. The walls are embellished with custom made tiles with pictorial stories about fishermen and sea life. The floor has a classical style parquetry which is repeated in the ceiling of the bar area, the wood bringing a sociable warmth to the restaurant. Deer chair and Deer Bar Stool and Zenovitch Chandelier manufactured by De La Espada for Autoban, feature throughout.

In 2010, Autoban’s first interiors project outside of Turkey opened in Hong Kong. 208 Duecento Otto offers rustic Italian cuisine from chef Vinny Lauria of New York’s acclaimed Babbo restaurant. The interior reflects the signature Autoban aesthetic, with its playful spirit and nod to the diversity of Istanbul, while embracing the local culture. Autoban utilised their signature raw materials as seen in steel pillars, marble tabletops and solid walnut floors and ceiling. Ceramic tiles, another signature, are specially designed for the location, blue and white and printed with Chinese illustrations. The project includes products manufactured by De La Espada including Slice Chair, Nest lounge chair, Box Sofa, Holy Table, Butterfly chair and Butterfly Bar Stool.

Ett Hem is a boutique hotel in Stockholm, Sweden with brand identity, interior concept and design by Studioilse. Situated in a former diplomat’s townhouse, Ett Hem is designed to be a home of comfortable, simple luxury. A house with open fires, a well-stocked library, a welcoming courtyard, modern yet resonating with the spirit of its past. A mixture of vintage and modern furniture is used throughout, and Studioilse's Bench with Back manufactured by De La Espada is included in the communal kitchen.

Ilse Crawford says, "Ett Hem is our latest hotel project in Stockholm. The idea is a comfortable cultured house you can enjoy as if it is a friend's. Sit in the kitchen, have a drink in the sitting room, pick up a book in the library or snuggle down by the fireplace. We hope that people who travel a lot will feel so happy there they wouldn't want to stay anywhere else."
