The Studio
A WOMEN-OWNED NEW YORK DESIGN FIRM.
Designed by women, for women with something to say.
BAD FORM WAS CREATED FOR WOMEN WHO HAVE RARELY SEEN THEIR TASTE, AMBITION, OR COMPLEXITY REFLECTED IN TRADITIONAL RESIDENTIAL DESIGN.
We listen closely. We make clear decisions. We create homes that recognize the women living inside them.
The studio takes on a limited number of engagements each season. This is a working preference, not a marketing pose — depth requires time and attention.
Approach
HOW WE WORK.
- Personal before pretty. We start with the client, not a mood board.
- Point of view. A room should know who lives there.
- Fewer, better decisions. Restraint is a form of confidence.
- Fashion-aware. Interiors informed by publications, not templates.
- New York-specific. Buildings, boards, and neighborhoods matter.
Values
STUDIO VALUES.
- Discretion. Client work is private by default.
- Clarity. Fees, timelines, and scope are explicit.
- Selectivity. Fewer projects, deeper attention.
- Independence. We take direction from the client, not the algorithm.
Founder
A NEW YORK STUDIO WITH A CLEAR POINT OF VIEW.
Lauren founded BAD FORM in New York to build a residential design practice that treats women as the primary client, not the secondary voice in the room.
