Background

About Brynn Gelbard

Londubh Studio was founded in Los Angeles in 2011 by Lisa Donohoe and Brynn Gelbard, two women dedicated to living life on the edge in full color and shimmer and whose art and surface designs are an unapologetic love letter to maximalism and glam. Specializing in the creation of custom art, surface designs and products for residential, commercial, hospitality and experiential spaces, Donohoe and Gelbard are a secret weapon of the design world, with some of the most notable names in the industry seeking them out for their pristine craftsmanship, unparalleled artistry, and boundless creativity. In Gaelic, Londubh means "blackbird," which represents both the duo's love of nature and the way in which they express nature in their work."When light hits a blackbird's feathers in the right way, there's suddenly a shimmer of deep colors, tones, and texture reflecting back at you," Donohoe says. No trick of light is needed, however, to see the meticulousness of Londubh’s work. Their hand-applied installations feature paints, glazes, decorative plasters, and metal leaf. The pair joke they will take on any surface that will stay still long enough for them to do their thing. Their portfolio includes everything from building facades to diving boards, large scale murals to bathtubs, and every traditional surface imaginable.
