APPARATUS

APPARATUS

1021 North McCadden Place | Los Angeles, CA 90038

apparatusstudio.com

 

Apparatus is a distinguished New York–based design studio renowned for its masterful fusion of lighting, furniture, and objects within immersive environments. Founded in 2012 by Gabriel Hendifar and Jeremy Anderson, the studio has garnered acclaim for its meticulous craftsmanship and innovative use of materials such as marble, suede, horsehair, lacquer, and porcelain, often combined with hand-patinated brass to create sculptural pieces that exude both modernity and timeless elegance. 

 

Under the visionary leadership of Artistic Director and CEO Gabriel Hendifar, Apparatus has expanded its presence with galleries in New York, Los Angeles, and London, each reflecting the studio’s unique design ethos. Hendifar’s background in fashion and interior design informs his approach, emphasizing the creation of objects that enrich the human experience and leave an emotional imprint. His dedication to historical and cultural research imbues each piece with a profound narrative, transforming functional objects into soulful works of art. 

 

The Los Angeles showroom epitomizes Apparatus’s commitment to creating spaces that feel like thoughtfully designed residences or boutique hotels. The showroom’s architecture, featuring arches inspired by De Chirico’s paintings and Escher’s etchings, creates a sense of discovery as new volumes reveal themselves, enhancing the immersive experience. 

 

What sets Apparatus apart is its devotion to the rigor of small studio craftsmanship, centering the importance of the human hand in lending soul to an object. Each piece is hand-finished and assembled in their dedicated New York factory, ensuring a balance between mechanization and the beautiful irregularity of humanity. 

 

This meticulous attention to detail and storytelling resonates deeply with me, as I believe that the narrative behind a design enriches its presence and impact. Apparatus’s pieces are not merely fixtures; they are artifacts imbued with history and emotion, capable of transforming a space and transporting its occupants. Their commitment to quality and materiality results in creations that are both fashion-forward and elegantly sophisticated, making them one of my preferred sources for exceptional lighting solutions.

 

I am thrilled to feature Apparatus as the inaugural brand on the Est. List, and I invite you to experience their Los Angeles showroom through the video tour below.
