“I wanted the team to know that this is a very different type of studio,” says Lee, “and that starts with creating an inclusive and warm workspace.” In an open-layout work area, Jaqui Seerman created a gallery wall, with artwork found at antique shops around the city, to hang above a long custom teal velvet channel-tufted banquette. Bistro tables are from Rejuvenation , vintage ikat fabric was used for the pillows, and the leather Promena dining chairs are from Anthropologie.“The building had gone through a lot of iterations and was pretty run-down,” says Seerman.

In the screening room, a curvaceous custom sofa is covered in Fabricut’s Vienna Velvet in Gold and the walls are washed in Portola Paint’s Kimono. The Bates coffee table and the chandelier are from Arteriors.Seerman sees her role as collaborative. “My goal is to walk the path with my client, while pushing them out of their comfort range, rather than presenting them with a final design. That way they’re involved and invested.
