Studio Gutow

Laguna Beach, California

Studio Gutow is a full-service interior design firm based in Laguna Beach, California, founded by Lisa Berman and Melissa Rohani. Berman brings a background in antiques and furniture provenance, shaped by early exposure to 18th-century and mid-century collecting, with formal training at Harrington College of Design and experience at Polo Ralph Lauren and Holly Hunt. Rohani draws on a background in marketing and global antiques sourcing, having curated furniture, lighting, and textiles across Asia, Europe, and South America before co-founding the studio. Their practice specializes in new construction and extensive residential renovations, with an approach that layers modern sensibilities with historical material and furniture selections. Natural palettes, textured surfaces, and carefully sourced vintage and antique pieces run consistently through the studio's work. Studio Gutow also operates a curated gallery of antique, vintage, and modern pieces available for purchase.
