Emily Pierce and Louisa Ward represent something of a rarity in the industry: A long-running partnership that has stood the test of time, even as both of them live in different cities. Together, they’ve built a design firm that’s made the AD100, opened a buzzy store in Los Angeles, and launched a blockbuster collection with West Elm.
On this episode of the podcast, Pierce and Ward chat with host Dennis Scully about why they like to give each other wins, what it’s like to have a Hollywood director as a client, and why the magic of their design process only comes through at the installation.
