Catstudio Acquired

We're pleased to announce that Hughes Klaiber represented Carmel and Terrell Swan, the owners of Catstudio, in the successful sale of their business.

Catstudio designs and sells one-of-a-kind gifts, textiles, and housewares. Products include pillows, drinking glasses, tea towels, pouches, fine art prints, tumblers and trays – all illustrated with the company’s distinctive style, high-quality detail, and a twist of humor.

‍

2024 is a momentous year in the history of Catstudio, as Carmel and Terrell (the "cats" in Catstudio) are starting a new adventure called retirement.

‍

After 23 amazing years of creating the original Geography Collection and building a collection of hundreds of designs gracing hand-embroidered pillows and other products, Terrell and Carmel have passed the torch to the next generation of Catstudio.

‍

The new owners of Catstudio are Navjot Singh and Nikki Mull. Navjot has spent the last 15 years working in the tech industry, first as a software engineer and later leading product at several start-ups. Nikki is an artist with degrees in traditional mediums, film, and computer graphics. She’s worked as a Look Development Artist at Walt Disney Animation Studio for the past decade.

‍

"As we set out on a new chapter of our lives we felt that Catstudio was a great fit for our combined experiences and skills. Under the guidance and support of Carmel and Terrell, we plan to continue their legacy of carefully researched designs and unwavering quality of products. We hope to bring our own experiences, and the insight we gain from Catstudio's clients and team, to continue Catstudio for many years to come! Here’s to new friends, and places to discover!"

-- Navjot and Nikki, and the Catstudio Team.
