WELCOME
WELCOME is in Los Angeles playfully revisiting the vernacular and telling stories through design one project at a time. Our work is big (buildings, houses, interiors), smaller (installations, furniture) and little (handbags, games, toys). We collaborate closely with clients and friends to inject a sense of fun, suspense, and narrative into the spaces and objects we interact with and depend on on a daily basis.
Studio services include client commissioned architectural and industrial design, creative consulting, branding and ideation.
