Bower Studios
A Brooklyn-based furniture and design studio best known for mirrors and collaborations.
Last updated August 31, 2026
Overview
Bower Studios, also known simply as Bower, is a furniture and design studio based in Brooklyn, New York. The studio is primarily associated with mirrors, while its broader portfolio includes furniture, lighting, and home accessories. Its work occupies the intersection of functional interiors and collectible or visually distinctive design, with mirrors serving as the most recognizable part of its offering. Bower was established by designers Danny Giannella and Tammer Hijazi. Giannella is identified as the studio's co-founder and creative director, while Hijazi is its co-founder and design director. Jeffrey Renz is associated with the business as development and sales director. Together, these roles indicate a studio structure that combines creative direction, product design, commercial development, and sales rather than operating solely as a conventional furniture retailer. The brand's product scope extends beyond a single category. Mirrors form its specialist foundation, but the studio also develops furniture, lighting, and accessories for residential and interior environments. Its design practice includes both in-house work and collaborative projects with artists and other creative partners. These collaborations provide a way for Bower to explore forms and creative perspectives outside its regular product range. A documented example is the 2020 BOWERx project with Stærk&Christensen, the design partnership of designer Camilla Stærk and model and photographer Helena Christensen. The collaboration produced a mirror and formed part of Bower's broader collaboration series. It reflects the studio's interest in pairing its mirror expertise with contributors from adjacent fields such as fashion, photography, and contemporary design. Bower Studios is presented as a Brooklyn design studio rather than a mass-market home-furnishings corporation. Publicly available reference material does not establish a founding year, ownership structure, listing status, financial scale, or a complete international distribution footprint. Its identifiable market proposition is therefore best described as design-led home furnishings, with a particular emphasis on mirrors and special projects. The studio's current public identity remains centered on its Brooklyn base, its multidisciplinary home-product range, and its collaborations with independent creative figures.
History
Bower Studios is a Brooklyn-based furniture and design studio whose public identity is closely linked to the design of mirrors. The studio also works across furniture, lighting, and accessories, giving it a broader home-interiors scope than a specialist mirror maker alone. Its work is presented within a design-studio model, combining product development with creative collaborations and special projects. The studio was co-founded by Danny Giannella and Tammer Hijazi. Giannella serves as co-founder and creative director, while Hijazi serves as co-founder and design director. These roles place the two founders at the center of Bower's creative and design activity. Jeffrey Renz is identified as development and sales director, adding responsibility for the commercial development and market presentation of the studio's work. Bower's range is organized around home and interior products. Mirrors are its defining category, but the studio's output also includes furniture, lighting, and accessories. This combination suggests a practice that treats the mirror as both a practical interior object and a design statement, while using adjacent categories to build a more complete visual language for residential and commercial spaces. Public reference material does not provide a full chronology of product introductions or a definitive founding date. Collaboration is an explicit part of the studio's practice. Bower has worked with other artists and creative partners on special projects, allowing it to extend its design approach beyond internally developed products. In 2020, the studio partnered with Stærk&Christensen, associated with designer Camilla Stærk and model and photographer Helena Christensen. The collaboration produced a mirror for the BOWERx series and is the clearest documented example of Bower's collaborative program. The available reference material identifies Bower as based in Brooklyn but does not specify a detailed operating-market map, ownership arrangement, corporate parent, public listing, or financial information. Accordingly, the studio is best understood as an independent-looking, design-oriented home-furnishings brand with a Brooklyn base and a product identity led by mirrors. Its documented development has been characterized less by large-scale corporate milestones than by the expansion of its design range and selective partnerships with other creative practitioners.
