Can you use one and unique together as above? I don't think it's right but I'm not clever enough to explain why not :/ Can anyone help?
One unique question
It is correct since the “one” is indicating quantity and the “unique” is describing a quality. One can ask one unique question or one can ask several unique questions. If the sentence read, "one, single question" or a singular and unique question, it would have been redundant.

One, Singular: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyZeGOsR9IA
It can be used, but rather as a fixed expression, an intensifier:
"That is one unique question!" - "That is a very unique question!"
"That is one unique question!" - "That is a very unique question!"
This is how it would be used...
One unique studio, six individual artists.
Is that ok then?

I have met several unique people in my life. This means that I have met several people who are different from all other people, including each other. I have met one unique person in my life. This means that everyone but this person is the same. It can also be used as an intensifier as Verily indicated.
For a better understanding of this, I would look up the word unique in your dictionary. If you are a native speaker of a Romantic language, it is likely that the English word "unique" is a false cognate.
1. Being the only one of its kind: the unique existing example of Donne's handwriting.
2. Without an equal or equivalent; unparalleled.
3.
a. Characteristic of a particular category, condition, or locality: a problem unique to coastal areas.
b. Informal Unusual; extraordinary: spoke with a unique accent.

Oh, yes. I see what you are saying. One unique studio, six individual (or unique) artists. Yep, that is correct.

Thank you very much for your help, it just sounded wrong to me but I am outvoted anyway! :)
