Studio Collective, the award winning, boutique design agency located in the heart of Venice, has firmly established themselves as the go to studio for some of the most coveted destinations in hospitality and strives to continuously deliver luxurious designs that have become synonymous with originality and craftsmanship. Making a name for themselves in the competitive world of design with an ever-expanding client roster including the likes of such hospitality visionaries as Jason Pomeranc, Brent Bolthouse and Giada De Laurentiis, Studio Collective creates unique spaces that all have their own defining charismatic personality and have been lauded for their unexpected touches.

Studio  Collective’s three principals – Adam Goldstein, Leslie Kale, and Christian Schulz – are seasoned veterans of hospitality, nightlife and residential design, with a joint resume that includes legends such as Ian Schrager, Frank Gehry and Philippe Starck, contemporary design icons like Commune, Dodd Mitchell and Kelly Wearstler, and spaces whose names are as celebrated as their clientele. Together, the spirit of collaboration between these three distinct design perspectives is precisely what makes Studio Collective the unique balance of experience, creativity and composition it is today.

The larger entity created by the balancing of their combined energies and individual skills results in the magic ingredient that is Studio Collective. Goldstein is a big picture person who brings an  air of calm and reassurance to a   “need it now” industry.  Schulz has a near obsessive attention to detail that leaves no doorknob unturned (or without detail). Kale, meanwhile, thinks nothing of scouring the Rose Bowl for the perfect vintage Louis loveseat or traveling to Guadalajara to source rivets for a drink table, ever confident to proudly point out, all will be delivered within budget and on time.

Studio Collective offers full-service branding and interior design services through the careful assembly of hand-picked teams, handling everything from graphics and uniforms to the space that houses it all.  The company name aims to convey this collaborative   spirit; “studio” acknowledging the artistry and craftsmanship behind every design concept, while “collective” nods to the deep well of both local and international talent available to make any concept come to life. The three partners agree that there is no signature Studio Collective “look”.  The challenge and thrill – lies in the opportunity to create something fresh and new every time, whilst staying true to the   project’s soul.  Still, there are a   few standing company rules: craft always trumps status, history   always trumps trend, and although it’s ultimately about arriving at that picture perfect finished product, it’s just as important to enjoy the process along the way.
