What Studio Other does

Studio Other is a Los Angeles-based custom furniture design and manufacturing studio, operated under the legal entity New Tangram LLC, that delivers bespoke workplace furniture for enterprise clients across the United States. The company employs a team of roughly 18 industrial designers and engineers led by President Charlotte Wiederholt, executing projects that span custom workstations, private offices, conference and boardroom tables, reception desks, work wall systems, and ancillary furniture. The studio's core technology is a digital fabrication pipeline in which every part is modeled and programmed for automated production, allowing a single design to be re-fabricated as a repeatable catalogue item and scaled from 10 to 1,000 units through a network of regional US fabricators.

Revenue is generated entirely through project-based, quote-priced B2B contracts, with each engagement typically running 8-14 weeks from co-design discovery through installation. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales with a strong specification channel: architecture and design firms such as Gensler, Shubin Donaldson, JK & Co, M Moser, HLW, Rapt Studio, and others bring Studio Other into client projects as the custom furniture partner. The studio's registered proprietary brand Harbor Stone® anchors its workstation line, and products are backed by a 12-year warranty. Clients include Boston Consulting Group, Google, Facebook, Andreessen Horowitz, Procore, Belkin, AEW Capital Management, Adaptive Biotechnologies, Pegasystems, Dude Perfect, Azoff Music Management, CareTrust REIT, and an NBA team, with projects delivered across 18 states. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investment and rebranded from Tangram Studio to Studio Other in 2023.
