in the studio

margo's production studio is housed in an industrial loft space in the middle of chicago, with a great skyline view from the industrial windows. inside her space is a former recording studio, which couldn't be more fitting, being a music fanatic!

margo finds inspiration from things that are old and have a history or a story, and is inspired by modern design and independent artisans. an avid anglophile, she absolutely adores London, the led zeppelin + the beatles
[if only there was a time machine!]

a longtime fan of industrial + machine age design, british design, vintage modern + creating atmosphere, she is constantly inventing and dreaming of new products for tatine. on any given day you might see piles of fragrance oils on her desk, vintage style aprons covered in candle wax, tear sheets from magazines, and press samples of new creations in development. Other inspirations - the look and smell of city cement, tree lined streets wet with recently fallen rain and the changing of the seasons (autumn being her favorite with leaves falling all around). margo tries to capture real aromas from nature, from plants, flowers, trees, and the earth in her creations. she is inspired by music, her sister, her husband and her beloved 17 year old kitty lester, named after leicester square.
