Studio LA is a Hamburg-based design studio founded by illustrator Carolin Löbbert and designer William Takashi Ahrend. Their work bridges German design clarity with the aesthetic philosophy of Japan – a culture both founders are deeply connected to. Inspired by nature, minimalism, and the beauty of imperfection (wabi-sabi), Studio LA creates visual identities, illustrations, and independent projects such as books and posters that balance structure with emotion. The result is a distinctive Japanese-German fusion design – vivid, thoughtful, and human.
