Studio

the intersection of beauty & comfort

We believe that great design is a product of the thoughtful curation of styles, genres, textures & opinions.

It is the composition of timeless treasures and modern pieces, of old and new, high and low, and of function and beauty.

It is the collaborative vision we create with each client based on their individualized needs and taste. And it is built on a true understanding of what fuels their perspectives, drives their habits, and invigorates their daily lives.

Mallory Robins

PARTNER

Mallory's work is best described as layered, elevated, and enduring. She believes firmly that a well-designed home marries aesthetic and practicality in ways that enhance every day life.

Her formula for creating your "happy place": thoughtfully curated furnishings that work as well for black-tie events as they do for weeknight fort-building.

  • guilty pleasure tv show:
    Law & Order—all the series. That “dun dun” gets me fired up every time.

    favorite cocktail:
    Ranch water, extra lime, extra tajin!

    favorite room to design:
    Kids' rooms and formal living rooms - both these spaces have fewer functional "must haves" which frees up space to be creative and break some rules!

    biggest lesson you’ve learned in the industry:
    Anna said it best in Frozen II - "do the next right thing.” If we don't stand behind our designs and our work, nothing else matters. Make it right for the client and the design, every time.

    next purchase for your own home:
    Occupational hazard of the job - continuous buyer's envy! I have a list of about 99 things to buy for my own home, but next up is a new bed. A cozy retreat after a long day is a must!

    design advice to live by:
    Don't worry about the "right" thing to do. If you love it, let's figure out how to make it spectacular. Your home should feel like you, and no one else. Also, don't make it too precious! I firmly believe it can be beautiful and liveable. Let people in to enjoy your home with you; the memories will last far longer than the spill/tear/etch you're afraid of. Don't be fussy!

    favorite part of your job:
    Creating real joy for other people. Watching people fall in love with their own homes is truly magical; working with a team of women that loves the process of creating those spaces is even better.

    five things in your purse:
    A notebook (or rather THE notebook - with every thought/client meeting notes, to-do list I'd be lost without), 10 pens, Band-Aids (3 kids!), earrings I took off halfway through the day, and a tape measure.

    what you're listening to:
    Any design podcast I can find, currently rotated with The Great Gatsby narrated by Leslie Odom Jr.

    your design obsession:
    Ugly chairs! Currently having a moment with chunky 70s/80s/90s leather chairs. Have yet to find a client who's there with me.... but you're out there—we'll find each other!

elizabeth bennett

PARTNER

Elizabeth's love affair with design began with an appreciation for local homes and architecture. Her personal style is a reflection of her international travels and the collection of souvenirs—both tangible and intangible—she's picked up along the way.

She's a staunch advocate for collected minimalism, the intrinsic magic of a good zhuzh, and the timeworn quality a little tarnish adds to a space.

  • guilty pleasure tv show:
    Don't judge but absolute trash television really does it for me. I live for a Kardashian marathon.

    favorite cocktail:
    Currently on a major fresh-squeezed Paloma kick but never turn down a glass of french white wine.

    favorite room to design:
    It's cliche but I don't think I have one! I love adding subtle details to workhorse spaces like kitchens but also adore a good living room where there are so many textures, silhouettes and eras to play with.

    biggest lesson you’ve learned in the industry:
    Take your time. Impulse decisions rarely stand the test of time and merely being “finished” doesn’t endure like being right. Wait for that piece that excites you, the bespoke sofa that is truly the perfect size or for the contractor with whom you felt a genuine connection. Your future home, and self, will thank you.

    next purchase for your own home:
    A new one? Kidding, but we are currently planning a massive renovation so my list of wants is lengthy!

    design advice to live by:
    Fewer things, larger scale. Always pepper in one-of-a-kind finds, and don't forget it’s the intangibles that truly dress a space—dimmed lighting, signature scent, and a good playlist are absolute must-haves in my book.

    favorite part of your job:
    All of it. I simply adore my partner, our amazing team and the clients we have the privilege of working with. It is such hard work but it's an absolute dream each and every day.

    five things in your purse:
    A few rocks my son made me "hold for a minute," a random pair of earrings, a few lip glosses in the exact same berry tint, a handful of mints, and my huge key fob.

    what you're listening to:
    I'm big on ambience and music sets the tone for my day. I’m always looking for a new playlist and cannot function in silence!

    your design obsession:
    Juxtaposition—everything is made better with a little of its counterpoint. Light and dark, old and new, tailored and tufted. It's the tension for me that adds balance.
