A Pierce & Ward room has an unmistakable presence. Thoughtfully layered patterns, plush textures, nature-inspired palettes, and handpicked antiques blend old-world charm with a modern ease. Each piece, though plucked from different eras, harmonizes beautifullyâcreating spaces that feel curated yet comfortable.
The Los Angeles and Nashville-based duo, Louisa Pierce and Emily Ward, have been designing together for 13 years, ever since a chance meeting at a New York City bar turned into an instant partnershipâone Ward describes as âwinning the lottery.â Known for their celebrity clienteleâincluding Leonardo DiCaprio, Dakota Johnson, Kate Hudson, Emma Roberts (weâre still obsessing over every detail in her Los Angeles âdollhouseâ)âtheyâve built a signature style rooted in the art of collecting.

Now everyone can bring a little bit of the AD100 designersâ work into their homeâno treasure hunt required. On March 31, the designers debut a 100-piece collection with West Elm, capturing the Pierce & Ward essence in an array of coveted, heirloom-worthy pieces.
âMost of the line is vintage-inspired,â Ward shares with Vogue. âWe wanted the collection to feel like it wasnât from one place but could all work in the same home. When we buy, we never know exactly where things will go, but eventually, it all ends up working together. We wanted this collaboration to feel organic to the way we design,â she says.
The collectionâwhich was a year and a half in the makingâfeatures stately pieces like a burl wood rounded dining table, velvet dining chairs, and an upholstered channel sofa alongside smaller treasures like a marble side table and striped vanity stool. And, of course, a Pierce & Ward collection wouldnât be complete without an assortment of pattern-rich pillows, reminiscent to the ones sold in their Los Feliz storefrontâensuring a little something for everyone.

If youâre looking to outfit your entire space, this collaboration has it allâbed frames, dining chairs, ottomans, rugs, nightstands. Hunting for that just-right finishing touch? Youâll find that, too. âWe have a lot of clients who have large-scale homes, and we wanted these pieces to work in both big spaces and in small, beautiful apartments. Not everyone necessarily needs or can hire a designer,â Ward shares. âWith this collection, you can really get the Pierce & Ward lookâtop to bottom.â Prices start at $29 for decor and accent items and go up to $1,699 for the larger furniture pieces.
Another major consideration when designing the line? Comfort. âFor us, functionality is essential,â Pierce shares with Vogue. âWe love for things to look beautiful, but comfort and function are a huge part of it, too.â

When asked which piece holds a particularly special place in their hearts, Pierce points to the walnut coat rack. âOne of my favorite items, which is very simple, is the coat rack. I just love the form of it and it feels like a little piece of art on its own,â she says.
Reflecting on the process, Ward shares her admiration for the quality and finishes of the pieces. âWest Elm really worked with us on developing finishes that feel very different,â she shares. âThey feel fresh and original, which is really important to us.â Pierce echoes this, also emphasizing the diversity of materials. âThe vanity is burl, the coat rock is walnut, the stool has metal legs,â she says. âEverything feels so true to our core beliefs and design.â
