British designer John Teall is launching his first US studio in Los Angeles this month, providing bespoke interior, furniture and set design services. The opening is exciting news for the design and film sectors, as Teall has a reputation for fusing the two in an innovative, often subversive, and always inspiring way.
Teall’s decision to relocate to Los Angeles was driven by a passion for embracing new challenges and the desire to bring his offbeat design philosophy to a dynamic and diverse market in the United States.
“My history in LA dates back to 2000 when I acquired a second home. I’ve completed numerous projects in LA and New York over the years, and now feels the right time to set up a permanent studio to meet demand,” he says. Teall believes LA’s fresh and open-minded approach blends well with his own eclectic and rebellious way of looking at things.
Additionally, the move was a natural next step for a designer who has always intermingled set design and interior design. “To me, they are inseparable. My contacts book of trusted suppliers and artisans is thicker here than in Europe, because LA is unequivocally the world leader on both fronts.” Teall adds, “The benefit of coming to us is you get the best of the film and design worlds in Los Angeles, as well as history and style emanating from Europe.”
Current Endeavours
Currently, Teall is excavating a basement to create a home cinema for a film director, along with refurbishing a Hollywood Hills residence for a notable actress. In addition, he’s designing the set for a feature film this summer and exploring opportunities elsewhere in America. Having just completed a project in New York, Teall has another one on the calendar towards the end of the year, and is about to commence work on an upcoming venture in Miami.
Teall’s new studio will bring together professionals from various disciplines to create the highest standards and bespoke solutions tailored to the individual tastes and needs of his clients.
