Estudio Persona is the design studio of Emiliana Gonzalez and Jessie Young, Uruguayan designers based in Los Angeles, where they have been working collaboratively since 2015. Rooted in a dialogue between past and present, their practice is defined by bold silhouettes, restrained palettes, and a rigorous use of raw materials free of embellishment. Trained across industrial design and fine art, the duo approaches furniture as a narrative object, one shaped by structure, proportion, and cultural memory. Their work draws from the architectural and design heritage of Uruguay, where Art Deco and Brutalism developed through reduced chromaticism and expressive volumes, while absorbing the precision and spatial logic of American minimalism. Through metal, leather, and wood, Estudio Persona explores how form, volume, and material honesty can coexist within a quiet yet assertive language.
