The Tailor Shop
Tailor Shop Palm Springs reimagines the tradition of bespoke suiting as a bar experience. Inspired by classic European tailor shops and an appreciation for craft cocktails and small bites, the design blends refinement with comfort. Leather and velvet seating—tufted and rolled in the style of vintage Chesterfield sofas—pairs with rich wood paneling and cabinetry to create a timeless backdrop. The bar front recalls the crisp pinstriping of fine suiting, while antiqued brass fixtures cast a soft, dim glow that highlights vintage wall details and a luminous display of spirits.

Hotel Per La, Autograph Collection
As a consultant to Inovus Design, Anima Design Studio translated Jacques Garcia’s French-led vision into the California context. Our role focused on refining building details, curating finishes, and adapting construction documentation to meet local codes and methods—ensuring the design intent was preserved while seamlessly integrated for execution.
NoMad Los Angeles brings the spirit of its New York predecessor to the historic Giannini Building. Originally designed in 1923 by Morgan, Walls & Clements as the Bank of Italy headquarters, the landmark’s soaring columns, ornate blue-and-gold Italianate ceilings, and marble floors set a dramatic stage for Garcia’s richly layered design.

As part of a corporate initiative to showcase a more contemporary interior, the restaurant design celebrates a healthy menu and Northern California culture. The space features an open kitchen, reclaimed wood furnishings, an herb garden, and a garage-style glass door that opens to alfresco dining.
