Spear’s Review

Scarlett Hessian gained widespread recognition in 2025 following the unveiling of the new Los Angeles-based offices of LuckyChap, the production company founded by Margot Robbie. ‘It was fun to bring my learning from residential [projects] back into commercial and create a very different environment for work,’ she tells Spear’s. 

An architect by training, Hessian began her career collaborating with commercial clients before gently moving into the residential space.

The Studio Hessian footprint can be found across the world, with a particular nexus in the west coast of the US, London and Stockholm. Hessian still draws all of her concepts herself, and finds inspiration from time spent living in Denmark and working in Japan. She creates interiors defined by what she calls ‘refined eclecticism’, characterised by antique furniture, natural materials and a modest, minimalist style. ‘The feedback I always get when I finish a project is how calm the property is,’ she says.

‘A home is such an important part of your life, and helping people create a calm centre that they want to come back to is the aim.’
