Made in Los Angeles. Made to Last.
There is a building in Los Angeles where the design studio and the weaving mill sit on the same block. That proximity is not incidental — it is the philosophy. McLaurin & Piercy was built on the belief that how a textile is made matters as much as how it looks.
Founded by Clay McLaurin and Todd Piercy, the studio traces its roots to 2013 when the two launched Clay McLaurin Studio and shortly after acquired their own mill in downtown Los Angeles. Clay brings the hand — literally. Each design begins as a painting, informed by decades of travel, time spent along the coast of Maine, textile study in Japan, and a deep literacy in the natural world. Todd brings the rigor: a career building luxury brands in fashion and interior design that understands how quality has to perform as a business.
Together they source the finest American wool, linen, and cotton — woven and printed in Los Angeles, with yarn twisted at their own mill just down the street. The result is a collection of fabrics and wallcoverings that carry the weight of real craft: patterns rooted in exploration, textures that reference the physical world, colorways that hold up under the scrutiny of a luxury interior.
On the Del Valle ADU, McLaurin & Piercy fabrics are doing the work that only textiles can: softening the geometry, adding temperature to a space that could otherwise read as precise but cold. The millwork from Umpa — clean profiles, natural materials, nothing that doesn’t earn its place — sets the stage. The textiles layer in the humanity. That handoff between disciplines is intentional. It is the difference between a room that photographs well and a room that feels right when you are in it.
Collections like Island Life, Ryukyu Mystique, and American West make clear that McLaurin & Piercy is not chasing a single aesthetic. The common thread — and it shows up in every piece — is a commitment to natural materials and a design sensibility earned through exploration rather than trend research.
Their work is carried by Thomas Lavin and represented in showrooms in Los Angeles, Laguna Niguel, and London. For architects and builders in the luxury residential space, they are one of the few American studios operating at this level — locally made, rigorously designed, and available through the trade.
