Daddy-Long Legs
Carniverious Lamp
Los Angeles design studio Studio Serpentine introduces Cabinet of Curiosities, its debut conceptual furniture consisting of three pieces. It features a slender side table, floral-inspired pendant, and an abstracted slithering vase, the collection has a surreal essence and creature-like quality made from bronze, brass, and glass. Created to spark imagination, these pieces invite people to assemble their own contemporary cabinet of curiosities, filled with objects of personal fascination. The series will have a limited production and are made-to-order.
The collection has a surreal essence with a splash of absurdness and creature-like forms Frankensteined together to come alive. They all have elements of soft and sharpness designed to remind you of their presence. Run into the table corner, and it will take a bite. The collection uses metals of warm color undertones. Glass brings a balance of softness and fragility to counterbalance the more masculine and stiff metal. Every element is sculpted and brings a sense of craftsmanship and thoughtfulness. All pieces were created via the lost-wax-casting process.

Renovation
2026
A renovation for a new family. Bring joy into their life with their new born and within their home design was very important. Making the home feels full of joy and color was in on the top of the list. Working with the existing home and bring more influences of arts and crafts style and leaning more into the folk was the design emphasis.

Studio Serpentine
Cosmos
Studio Serpentine can be found basking in the Los Angeles sun, a young and emerging design and architecture practice that creates furniture and spaces that have a bite. Founded by Architect Melissa Anderson, the studios’ purpose is to have fun while creating unexpected experiences of delight for the home.
Melissa grew up on a small farm in rural Kansas without cell service, spending her days exploring and working outdoors. That immersion in landscape and adventure continues to inform her design practice today. She later attended the University of Kansas and studied abroad earning her master’s degree at the École Nationale d’Architecture in Paris. After graduating, she worked at Jean-Paul Viguier in Paris, where French culture encouraged her to think more abstractly and with greater confidence.
Her work has been exhibited at New York Design Week at the Jonald Dudd Gallery, Los Angeles Design Week, and the Rhett Baruch Gallery in Los Angeles. Through previous studios, including Chet Architecture, she has contributed to private residential projects featured in Architectural Digest, Dwell, and other leading design publications.
