The Story Behind the Name

The studio takes its name from Emily's grandmother, Margaret.

Margaret belonged to a generation that valued craftsmanship, resourcefulness and the idea of buying well rather than buying often. Their philosophy of "waste not, want not" continues to shape the way the studio approaches design.

From a young age, Margaret encouraged Emily to paint, draw, cook, explore and create—instilling a strong appreciation for making, collecting and appreciating the little things in life. That influence remains central to the studio today.

These values are reflected in every project. Materials are chosen with care, pieces are selected for their longevity, and spaces are designed to evolve over time rather than be replaced.

MARG. Studio is, in many ways, a continuation of this way of thinking—creating interiors that feel personal, layered and enduring, shaped by both the home's history and the people who live within it.
