The Designers Behind Dakota Johnson’s Home Are Back at West Elm – and Their New Collection Is Even Richer Than the Original

Richly layered living room featuring a low slung moss velvet sofa, intricate woodworking, and two-tier mid-century-style coffee table from Pierce & Ward's second West Elm collaboration.

There’s nothing worse than buying something new only for it to look like it – a faux pas that Pierce & Ward founders Emily Ward and Louisa Pierce might be more averse to than the average aesthete. Personal first, vintage second, it’s a philosophy you may have noticed in the homes of the LA- and Nashville-based design duo’s starry clientele, including Dakota Johnson and Leonardo DiCaprio – and, of course, in its West Elm collaboration, which today finally returns for a second act.

Back by popular demand following its 2025 debut, it’s an era-mixing, mid-century-meets-folk-art blend of everything you love about Pierce & Ward’s signature high-low approach: stripes layered with checks, dusty blues paired with familiar orangey nutmegs, mesmerizing burl veneer swirls offset by impossibly glossy lacquered finishes.
