Every project is tailored to suit the unique needs and budgets of the client, offering a variety of options to enable the client to choose how to best proceed. Cush Design Studio was established by Chris Cushingham in 2009. After receiving formal training in interior design from Seattle Pacific University and the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles, Chris moved to New York City to work under Anurag Nema at the interior architecture firm Nemaworkshop. At Nemaworkshop Chris worked on a number of residential and commercial design projects from Toby's Estate coffee shop in Williamsburg and The Smith restaurant in Turtle Bay, to the renovation of the W Hotel in the French Quarter of New Orleans and its sister restaurant Sobou. Chris started making furniture for himself while in design school. Chris continued designing furniture at Nemaworkshop where a number of pieces were conceived for the W Hotel. After starting Cush Design Studio, Chris began a residency at SuperSmith, a shared creative workspace in Red Hook, and has since moved to the Liberty Labs fabrication shop in Red Hook where all of the Cush Design Studio furniture is handmade by Chris. ### Services Provided - Residential and commercial interior architecture - interior design - lighting design - and custom furniture design ### Areas Served - New York City - Brooklyn - Los Angeles ### Typical Job Cost $3,000 - $100,000 ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Cush Design Studio | | Address | 441 Lorimer St. \#3B, Brooklyn, New York 11206, United States | | Website | http://www.cushdesignstudio.com | | Followers on Houzz | 263 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — http://www.facebook.com/cushdesignstudio - X (Twitter) — http://www.twitter.com/chriscush - Blog — http://www.cushdesignstudio.blogspot.com ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Cush Design Studio](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/cush-design-studio-pfvwus-pf~402660495) - **Website:** http://www.cushdesignstudio.com ## Credentials - **Best of Houzz:** 2 awards (2014–2015), for Service. ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 6 reviews** ### All 6 reviews **★★★★★ — stigekstrand, March 2014** > We hired Cush Design studio to build us a custom dining table and coffee table based upon pictures of the work. Chris (Cush Design) was great to work with. Very responsive and accomodating. He delivered exactly what we wanted on time and on budget. We took a chance buying furniture without seeing it in person but his pictures and descriptions were spot on. > > We would highly recommend Cush Design Studio. > > Stig & Lauren- NYC **★★★★★ — jb800nyu, March 2014** > We hired Cush Design Studio to design and build a shelving/storage unit for our bedroom. The design that Chris came up with was excellent and we couldn't be happier with the final result. It turned an underutilized part of the room and made the most of the space: creating a space to house my clothes, TV, files, luggage, and there is even a retractable desk. He basically allowed me to get rid of my dresser and created a hidden office in the bedroom. Aside from being utilitarian, it also looks great. The shelving unit incorporates colored panels, a walnut finish, frosted glass and piping -- the result is a design that is unique and fits perfectly with the aesthetic of the apartment. Chris was incredibly easy to work with and accommodating to our suggestions. One year later, we couldn't happier with the piece and the craftsmanship has proven to be excellent. I couldn't recommend Cush Design Studio highly enough. **★★★★★ — Gina Bergman, March 2014** > Chris custom-made a built-in for our bedroom last year. He was absolutely professional from start to finish: He quoted us a fair price (and stuck to it) and made an absolutely beautiful piece that is a joy to look at every day. We would recommend his services to anyone! **★★★★★ — Kyle Stanley, Dec. 2013** > Chris from Cush Design Studio is the best interior designer and furniture designer around! I hired Chris to design my Los Angeles loft after seeing a loft he did in LA and I couldn't be happier. He took my cold open space and made it into a modern, clean, expensive looking space that I never want to leave. Chris worked with me hand in hand to design many custom pieces and also the whole "feel" of the space. One of my favorite pieces is the custom sofa that we designed together. He helped me with every aspect from material, shape, foam type, and legs. The final product is amazing and I get all kinds of compliments on it and my loft. Another cool thing is that Chris is bi-coastal and can be anywhere in a moments notice. He lives in NYC but did much of my project remotely and came out to LA when needed. This makes him able to complete any project around the world. > > On top of being a great designer, Chris is an all around great guy that you will quickly click with and more then likely stay friends with for a while. He is passionate, easy going, and hark working. I will be using Cush Design Studio for all future interior design and custom furniture projects and have already recommended him to many friends and family. Thanks Chris!! **★★★★★ — alexalexsuarez, Nov. 2013** > I've had nothing but the best experience with Cush Design. I was fortunate to get into a new space early with Chris and we were really able to customize some pieces and design a layout together that really enhanced the space aesthetically and functionally. **★★★★★ — nhochman, Nov. 2013** > Chris was terrific to work with. My apartment turned out much better than I thought possible. He provided vision but was always happy to work in the parameters of what I wanted and change course if I didn't like some element he had suggested. Chris also found tons of creative and unique solutions. Whereas I would likely have blown through my own budget, Chris was laserlike in his focus on staying within the budget. I certainly recommend him. ## Selected projects - [Custom Furniture](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-furniture-pj-vj~396112) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 18 - [Toluca Lake Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/toluca-lake-residence-pj-vj~1173704) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 29 - [Packard Loft](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/packard-loft-pj-vj~559959) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 25 - Description: A loft apartment for a dentist in downtown Los Angeles. - [Bailey Hat Loft](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bailey-hat-loft-pj-vj~377014) - Location: Los Angeles, CA - Photos: 34 [See all 4 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/cush-design-studio-pfvwus-pf~402660495) ## Community Q&A **Q: Love the lockers!
