Sunrise in El Segundo.
A view from the back of the studio as the day begins…
Studio Joseph Watts is located in El Segundo, CA - one of L.A.’s best kept little secrets. Tucked between LAX and Manhattan Beach - El Segundo has become a favorite for architects, designers, artists, and technology. The studio is located on historic Richmond Street and is housed in the vintage T. G. Ellis building, El Segundo’s original mercantile store, and one of the oldest buidlings in town.
James Barker and Joseph Watts Barker are Studio Joseph Watts.
James and Joseph are sons of the great American West. Living a life of self reliance and independence is paramount. They were raised on the ethics of honest and hard work. The old school way of doing things. Use the best materials. Be creative. Create great pieces. The brothers both work in their studio and are involved with all aspects of production - start to finish.
Small batch. Made well. One piece at a time.
Richness of materials. Quality of workmanship. It is not about how much you can produce, it is about producing the best. James and Joseph actively work in their studio. From selecting raw materials, to the closing of the shipping crate, their handprint is on everything. That is the process. That is how clients are properly taken care of.
