The concept of home can mean many different things – the concept of comfort as well. The home is a sanctuary, a safe space of creativity, flourishing, and family. Arya and Michael, founders of Studio OSKLO, treat their abode as such, and inspire us to do the same. Named after the Trousdale Estates neighborhood of Beverly Hills, the Trousdale Collection embodies the familiar streets well–1960s architectural silhouettes outlined against mountainous panoramas, city views filtered through mature pines, all drenched in golden California sun.
An ode to a specific place at a specific time, the Trousdale Collection is a culmination of synergy between founders Michael and Arya, and their most personal collection to date. Developed within their own residence—the OSKLO House, originally designed by George Varnum in collaboration with Benton & Parks—the pieces act as both functional objects and vessels of lived experience. While this marks their third furniture line, it is the first to fully center their own domestic landscape as both inspiration and stage.
However direct, each piece has clear historical ties. Studio OSKLO’s work consistently threads past and present, pairing original designs with museum-quality vintage works. The slight pitch of the top of the Bloom Nightstand, for instance, ties us to a time of careful craftsmanship, where materiality is at the center of creation, its whimsical floral reference subtly embedded in its form and bronze hardware detailing.
The De Gaulle Chair creates sloping, organic lines that flow their way down to the ground as they envelop the seat. Its rounded, French mid-century silhouette is further refined through tailored piping and offered in richly tactile mohair, balancing sculptural presence with softness.
The Lady Bird Console features a generously curved top, three evenly spaced drawers, and a rich satin finish in stained oak. The elongated form reads as both architectural and approachable, allowing a certain amount of texture to shine through while maintaining a cohesive, grounded hue.
This S.C.A.L. daybed daybed by Jean Prouvé features true-to-era upholstery paired with its original 1950 metal frame, restored to museum-quality condition. Masters of preservation, Studio OSKLO seamlessly integrates brilliantly-restored pieces into contemporary interiors as anchors of design lineage.
Here, the Hillcrest Dining Table is paired with eight matching Dining Chairs, creating a stately surface for elegant gathering. The table’s monumental presence is grounded by fluted walnut pedestal legs, while the chairs reinterpret traditional French forms with abbreviated arms and extended backs, upholstered in sumptuous Italian cotton velvet. Together, they create a setting that feels equally suited for intimate dinners or more theatrical moments of gathering.
Last, but certainly not least, these twin Monaco Barstools continue the celebration of organic form, even at last call. Rounded, woolly seats sit atop freeform oak bases, evoking soft, slightly whimsical silhouettes while maintaining structural clarity.
Far from an exhaustive list, remaining pieces in the collection span from playful to monumental–and always grounded–echoing the studio’s dialogue between material richness and sculptural intent. The pair continue to push the bounds of materiality and making.
“When Arya and I met; we almost immediately began working together. Our 7-year relationship coincided with the beginning of OSKLO, at the time we were both working on separate real estate design projects and each excelling in different areas than the other,” says Michael. “Together, we immediately felt like we made a more formidable team,” shares Arya. “And of course who doesn’t want to spend every moment together when first meeting?”
