The Studio for Metropolitan Craft is an interdisciplinary design studio that focuses on the intersection of craft, design, and technology. The studio was founded in 2011 by Laurence Srinivasan, an architect and craftsman based in San Francisco, CA.
The studio is committed to exploring the relationship between traditional craft techniques and new digital tools and fabrication methods. We aim to create innovative designs that are rooted in the history and culture of the places where we work, while also pushing the boundaries of what is possible with contemporary technology.
Some of the studio's notable projects include the Bay Area Models Series, a top entry in the San Jose Light Tower Design competition, exhibits at the Art Explosion San Francisco, digitally fabricated furniture, and the Market Street Prototyping Festival.
The Studio for Metropolitan Craft also provides design and consulting services to clients in a variety of industries, including architecture and product design. We have worked with organizations such as the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Craft & Design, and the DeYoung Museum.
