Studio – Whiskey Design

Located in Kansas City, our studio is in a building built in the 1920s by the Red Star Yeast Co. It’s been our home since 2010. It features staircases, walls and a fireplace built from lumber reclaimed from Maker’s Mark Distillery. Our custom furniture is inspired by the wood and steel straps of whiskey barrels. We designed the space so our workstations are seen when visitors enter. We think it’s important for clients to see how the work is created and who is creating it.
