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 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.

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.
A design studio that focuses on interiors, architecture, and objects. An absurd modernist that makes designs that have a bite while being full of joy.
Based in Los Angeles.
