It’s easy to see why Emily Ward and Louisa Pierce’s eponymous interiors firm has become a favorite among vintage enthusiasts. Their ability to craft richly-layered residences that strike the elusive balance between Old World elegance and a contemporary sense of lived-in ease has endeared them to the Hollywood set—Dakota Johnson and Leonardo DiCaprio are among those who have commissioned Pierce & Ward Studio. In addition to their interiors, the studio also oversees an online storefront for vintage and bespoke furniture, textiles, decor, and artwork united by 20th-century modernist and folk art influences.
Now, thanks to a newly-debuted West Elm collaboration, their signature style is more accessible than ever. The 100-piece capsule spans furniture, like handsome burl wood dressers and dining tables, fabric-covered pendant lighting informed by archival English and Danish traditions, glam wall mirrors that evoke the decadence of Italian Deco, and peel-and-stick wallpaper that looks anything but. “There’s a lot of vintage inspiration in the line, with a fun balance of textures and patterns unique to [the collection] that will bring any room to life,” Ward tells Surface.
Anyone acquainted with scrolling Pierce & Ward’s own vintage storefront will feel instantly at home while perusing the West Elm edit. “It’s designed to feel cohesive so that you can furnish your entire home with the collection, without it looking like it’s all from the same line,” she continues. But don’t take our word for it—see the full collection, below.
