An Experienced Eye, A Storytelling Soul
Founded in 2013 by husband and wife Scott Jarrell and Kristan Cunningham, Hammer and Spear is a Los Angeles–based interior design studio renowned for its warm, layered aesthetic and narrative-driven approach to space. With roots in the city’s Arts District and a presence now anchored in the La Cienega Design Quarter, the studio has become a fixture in the world of elevated, soulful interiors.
Kristan and Scott bring a nuanced, collaborative sensibility to their practice—balancing collected antiques and vintage pieces with contemporary design, always in service of spaces that feel deeply personal and atmospherically rich. Their work is immersive, intimate, and grounded in a reverence for craftsmanship and story.
The studio’s portfolio spans residential and commercial projects, as well as custom furnishings. Hammer and Spear’s work has been featured in Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, Wallpaper, and other leading design publications—affirming its distinctive voice and influence within the design community.
Hammer and Spear is about more than creating beautiful rooms. It’s about building environments that hold memory, meaning, and soul—spaces that speak not just to how we live, but to what we value.
