Women-led.
California produced.

A wholly independent company founded by Wendy Schwartz and Kristi Bender in 2008, Cuff Studio designs lighting, furniture, and objects through a distinctly forward lens — sculptural and often geometric pieces that balance architectural form with refinement and play, and indulgence with approachability — all hand-produced in California and intended to be layered within a space.

Our Story

Cuff Studio is an evolving exploration of how two California creatives define home. Our curiosity, lifestyle, and strong foundation in interior design shapes everything we conceive. Our Los Angeles workroom has the capacity to produce for commercial, hospitality, and residential projects alike. We have a flagship gallery in Los Angeles and maintain a select inventory in a shared showroom in New York’s NoMad neighborhood.

Experience Cuff Studio

Located in the bustling Melrose Hill neighborhood of Los Angeles, Cuff Studio's flagship gallery is available for visits, sit tests, sample requests, and more by appointment only Monday - Friday.

In Spring 2025, Cuff Studio expanded its footprint with a shared space in New York. The Showroom by Studio Nordic x Past Lives in NoMad features select pieces from Cuff Studio — marking a natural continuation of a West Coast-East Coast synergy.
