THE STUDIO’S PRACTICE
Softening our separation from the natural world through thoughtful design.
Studio Serpentine can be found basking in the Los Angeles sun, a design and architecture practice that creates furniture and spaces that poke back. Founded by architect Melissa Anderson, the studios’ purpose is to have fun while creating unexpected experiences and joy for the home.
Melissa grew up on a small farm in rural Kansas, with no cell service which meant her days were spent exploring outdoors with a sense of curiosity. That immersion in landscape and materiality continues to shape her work as a designer today. She approaches each project as a sensory experience—considering not just the volume and light of a space, but also the textures, finishes, and even the feel of a doorknob in the hand.

THE STUDIO’S NAME
Stoo·dee·ow Sur·puhn·teen
Taking inspiration from that, snakes are symbolic of rebirth. They shed an old version of themselves. For us rebirth of yourself or the world around us takes a lot of courage and risk taking. That can be unnerving and full of doubt - on the flip side can be so thrilling and innovative. For both options - always such a unique experience to have. The ability to consciously articulate the rebirth and reimagination of the world around you.
