ER Studio is a Los Angeles studio working in carved wood: furniture, lighting, mirrors, and sculptural objects built from one language of repeating, geometric carving. That language comes from American folk craft, tramp art above all, where the worth of an object was never in its material but in the geometry worked across it. The studio takes that vernacular and builds it at the scale and precision of contemporary design.

It runs at two temperatures. Across furniture and mirrors, the carving becomes the faceted surface: whole forms wrapped edge to edge in dense geometric relief that catches and breaks the light while the form beneath holds still. Standing on its own, the same language turns figural, in sculptural objects and totems that run looser, more playful, more direct.

ER Studio was founded by the artist Ellie Richards, a sculptor who spent fifteen years inside the country's craft schools before building the studio to make this work on its own terms. Ellie's independent art practice is held separately, at ellie-richards.com.
