The Loft Design Studio Competitors

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.

Kara Mann is the founder and creative director of KARA MANN established in 2005 with offices in Chicago and Los Angeles. Over the past fourteen years Mann has acquired thereputation of a cultural vanguard for her study of the possibilities of spatial design while pushing the boundaries of tradition. Her impactful, refined interiors draw inspiration from a myriad of creative fields including art, architecture and fashion, where Mann began her career. Described by The Wall Street Journal as a “sparkplug in the world of design” Mann juxtaposes formal design elements with unexpected materiality, architecture and an irreverence that has attracted high profile clients in the art, fashion, finance, music and entertainment industries. A steady stream of residential and commercial projects around the world caught the attention of Gwyneth Paltrow’s goop, which sought her out for a collaboration in Chicago in 2015. The same year she was enlisted to reinvigorate Baker Furniture’s Milling Road line and debuted a collection of furniture that blurred the lines between classical and contemporary. In addition to ongoing residential projects around the world, Mann is currently at work on two high profile furniture collaborations launching in 2020 and several luxury hotel projects throughout the United States.
