Hanson & Stefanelli is a design-build studio dedicated to the creation of custom furniture and architectural interiors. Uniting the roles of designer, fabricator, and installer, we offer a seamless, end-to-end approach that ensures precision and efficiency at every stage.

We engage directly with private clients, and collaborate with architects, designers, and builders to realize environments defined by craftsmanship and technical rigor.

From our workshop in Downtown Los Angeles—and in close collaboration with a network of skilled local artisans — we bring a richness of material expression to each project, working fluidly across wood, metal, stone, textiles, and more.

Guided by a commitment to collaboration, transparency, and honesty in all aspects, our process merges time-honored craftsmanship with advanced manufacturing and responsibly sourced materials. The result is design that is as lasting as it is unique.
