For lovers of well-designed spaces that lean into textiles, prints, and clean lines, this studio space is the perfect backdrop for your next photo/video shoot or event. Welcome to your next event space set against the many backdrops of a renown furniture designer and upholsterer's beautifully designed studio in the heart of Minneapolis.
This 1300 sq ft brightly lit and colorful studio space is outfit with stunning, one of a kind upholstery with mixed prints, patterns and colors, all custom upholstered by the artist herself. Upon entrance of the studio, enjoy a beautiful custom made wood table outfitted with decor accessories like art work, brass framed mirrors, plants, bright textiles, and candles.
A slight turn to your left reveals a large beautifully designed sitting area designed to feel like your living room in an artists home. Custom upholstered sofa, and midcentury furniture in vibrant textiles sit amid a stunning black and white bohemian rug, wood and glass coffee filled with home and design magazines, a brass shelving unit that houses hand sourced vintage home furnishings, large plants all set against a bold teal wall. A custom built dried flower installation hangs above the sitting area for a dramatic effect. This area can be easily changed or rotated, and objects can be moved either into the foyer or one of two large storage rooms.
Several tables--glass and wood--flank the space and can be used as props for your event. The room features several beautiful rugs of various colors and patterns that can be moved or stored if not needed.
Plants from local plant shops also fill the space, making it lush and inviting. Plants and their pots can be moved around the space, but are not to be taken out of the studio space.
The space has two storage rooms, each at 350 sq ft, more than enough space to house additional equipment or props you might bring for your event. The rooms can also be used as changing rooms or makeup rooms for photo or video shoots that require talent to change wardrobe.
Large 12 ft ceilings support the many walls this space provides, each offering a different backdrop to make your event or shoot pop. The studio features a large white brick wall, a teal painted wall, a wall painted in a light tan color called 'Smoked Trout' by Farrow & Ball, and multiple plain white walls to give you lots of opportunity to put your event's stamp on the space.
The studio comes equipped with 17 outlets placed all throughout the space, making it more than perfect to accommodate any electric equipment needs. The space also has 8 overhead lights, which provide bright and full lighting for events taking place into the evening, and three large floor to ceiling windows offering beautiful full natural lighting during the day. The studio has western facing light which becomes brighter as the day progresses.
The studio also comes with access to free wi-fi, a Beats Pill speaker, and minifridge.
There is a loading dock and freight elevator located on the same level that open up right in front of the studio door, making it super convenient and fast to load and unload any equipment, furniture, or props you might have.
Two large restrooms equipped with large sinks and big windows are 10 steps from the studio door.
Free parking is available and plentiful on the gravel driveway as well as free street parking.
Studio rentals require a one hour minimum, and payment is collected in advance. In the event you need to reschedule or cancel, please email the studio at nicolecrowderupholstery@gmail.com. Full refunds will only be issued if a cancellation takes place no fewer than 7 days before event.
