our company

Stuermer Studios is a woman-owner San Francisco business with over 25 years experience of creating custom high-end resin applications for discerning architects, designers, and end clients with our unique structural resin product. We offer clients extremely durable, captivating, site-specific architectural applications for commercial and residential interiors and exteriors. Under the creative direction of founder Marcia Stuermer, the Stuermer Studios team can tackle hard-to-solve design problems and bring your design visions to life with the beauty of their continuous color, translucent resin product.

In addition to all of our company’s design, management, and production being local to the San Francisco/Bay Area, we have a strong commitment to sustainability as seen in our fun and functional office/home accessories created from our closed-loop production process that minimizes waste. We also support an ongoing renewable program where we offer resin remnants from past custom projects at substantial discounts to provide design solutions for those clients with smaller project needs.

our process

Stuermer Studios welcomes design challenges and is excited to work with your creativity. Whether you’re an interior designer, an architect, or an end client, we use a focused collaborative approach to realize your vision and put a sophisticated, creative fingerprint on your projects for both residential and commercial applications, whether large or small. Since all of our work is custom, we initiate the client process with an initial dialogue to establish the desired aesthetic, conceptual and physical needs for the proposed application. From there we determine the optimal production methods, the resin composition, color, translucency and any other elements needed to create the desired work and provide you with a custom quotation. Once the quotation is approved, we submit a detailed proposal with a project timeline.

Upon proposal acceptance and order placement, we then move forward and produce a custom resin signoff sample for the project. After approval of that custom sample, we begin final production, keeping an open dialogue with you, the client, throughout until the custom work is delivered.

our product

Our unique resin product is not simply a diverse building product or stunning solid surface for interior designers and architects to specify, but an extraordinary and distinctive product with amazing visual depth, luminosity and durability that can be fully customized and used artistically to achieve dynamic results. Artistic alchemy is behind each of our custom projects as we transform our translucent resin into beguiling luxury design solutions that are not only visually captivating but also extremely durable and easy to care for.

sustainability

Sustainability is very important to us at Stuermer Studios as evidenced in our elemental resin line that incorporates upcycled materials, our home/office accessory line created entirely from a closed-loop production process, and our ongoing resin remnant program that uses product overruns and seconds to provide economical design solutions for those with smaller project needs.  

We have a continual, but limited stock of resin remnants in various sizes, shapes, colors and thicknesses that we offer our clients at significant savings. This allows us to simultaneously provide our unique high-quality resin work at the best value to our clients whose small projects might not be suited to the normal pricing of custom, one-off work. Another full-cycle, re-use program that is a win/win scenario for all!

Various LEED credits can be garnered with our resin product, and although our resin projects are intended to last and last, our resin product can be commercially recycled.
