Dallas-based Studio 11 Design has acquired Lou Verne—a creative consultancy led by Marisa Dukowitz and Christy Black—and reincorporated it as Lou Verne by Studio 11 Design.
Launching this past January, Lou Verne provides art direction, spatial curation, and art installation services.
“Lou Verne by Studio 11 Design is a team of true artists,” says Kellie Sirna, principal of Studio 11 Design. “Their distinct skills, combined with the talent and experience of our design team, will take our hospitality and leisure projects to a new level by adding that last layer required to make each space truly unique and indigenous.”
The company will work in-house with Studio 11 to ensure art and décor are properly integrated throughout the installation process. Lou Verne by Studio 11 Design will make collaborative design decisions that include color palette and signage selection, as well as general concept creation.
“We thrive artistically in a group and love bouncing ideas off a team of creatives,” says Black. “There’s a synergetic energy that only comes from working with others who appreciate that process. Working with Studio 11 will challenge us to continually evolve and give new life to our work.”
