William Emmerson

British
Founded in 1997 as Emmerson Troop, this Los Angeles-based brand has evolved into a multidisciplinary force, creating distinctive pieces of exclusive furniture, industrial design, and interior decor. With a focus on warmth and functionality, William Emmerson passionately crafts each composition to reflect the rhythms of life. Today, the brand stands as a leading voice in both commercial and residential design, boasting an extensive portfolio that includes notable collaborations, historic renovations, and high-profile clients.
As the Emmerson storefront re-launches in Los Angeles, it will debut two previously unseen collections—one of which has been seven years in the making. This functional art series, featuring pieces made from single blocks of glass and marble, aims to transform public spaces across Los Angeles, starting in Spring 2020. Additionally, a custom leather furniture collection will set new industry standards with its unmatched quality, utilizing ancient bending techniques, natural dyes, and premium leather sourced from France.
William Emmerson, founder and principal of William Emmerson Inc., is a globally recognized British designer, sculptor, and innovator. The genesis of his multidisciplinary company, celebrated for its unique blend of modern and vintage aesthetics, can be traced back to his childhood in London, where he watched his father carve exquisite wooden sculptures.
His early career in Los Angeles was marked by eight years of art direction for film and video, coupled with four years spent collaborating with master craftsmen to create furniture and cabinetry. This diverse background has shaped his exclusive and innovative designs.
In 1997, William opened the doors to Emmerson Troop, quickly becoming a hub for modern and vintage collectors. Since then, he has completed numerous high-profile interior design projects, including the renovation of his own Robert Byrd house, an apartment in the iconic El Royal, and various exclusive residences internationally. His exclusive furniture lines established him as a respected name in the industry, garnering attention from leading publications such as The New York Times and Variety.
In 2007, after creating two of his most acclaimed furniture collections, Ab Ovo and Flatbar, and embarking on a decade-long partnership with Ralph Pucci, William began exploring new materials and processes beyond traditional furniture design.
Today, William Emmerson Inc. continues to focus on curated collections and limited edition pieces, while also pursuing exciting collaborations—such as the upcoming furniture for the new marble and glass collection showcase.
