Jonathan’s mission: to bring Modern American Glamour to your life. How? By creating a foundation of timelessly chic furniture and accessorizing with abandon. It all started with pottery. Jonathan first gave the wheel a spin at summer camp when he was 12 years old. He was obsessed with clay the moment he touched it. Unfortunately, his passion wasn’t always encouraged. After his college professor told him, “You have no talent. Move to New York and become a lawyer,” he attempted to comply, moving to the city and working in the entertainment biz. Three years later he quit and went back to the wheel. In 1993, Barneys bought his collection of pots, and in 1998, he opened his first store. Today his offerings span furniture, lighting, décor, and more, iconic interior design projects, and retail locations worldwide, all rooted in his commitment to outstanding design, impeccable materials, and unparalleled craftsmanship.

Kelly Wearstler Studio is a Los Angeles–based multidisciplinary design practice working across hospitality, private residences, workplaces and headquarters, product design, editorial, thought leadership, creative direction, and strategic brand partnerships. For more than three decades, the studio has created work that moves between culture and commerce, art and experience, intimacy and scale, spanning hotels and restaurants, workplaces, and product collections for clients around the world. Every project begins with the particular: the place, the people, the history they carry, and the life the work is meant to hold. The studio treats each commission as its own question rather than a style to be applied, building a language of materials, proportion, light, and form that belongs to that client alone. It remains hands-on and intimately engaged throughout, moving from atmosphere to detail with rigor at every scale. The result is work that feels inevitable in its setting and singular in the world. Curiosity drives the practice forward, embracing technology, AI, and new materials to expand imagination and bring richer ideas into the physical world. That exploration is held in balance by craftsmanship: the artistry of the hand, materials shaped with intention, and the authority of something beautifully made. Alongside its private residential and hospitality practice, the studio creates furniture, lighting, objects, collections, events, and brand experiences for homes and public spaces around the world. Current and recent collaborators include Dior, Bulgari, David Yurman, Airbnb, H&M Home, Serax, and Williams Sonoma.
