The Covet + Lou Questionnaire: All Roads

All Roads is a creative workshop and textile studio based in Los Angeles. Founded by Robert Dougherty and Janelle Pietrzak, they combine wood, metal, fiber and reclaimed materials to create beautiful objects. This spring they collaborated with Covet + Lou to create an exclusive wall hanging.
