28on27 Entrepreneur Laura Little opens up...

January 7th 2012

Entrepreneur Laura Little opens up about her inspiration for 28on27 and 1315 Studios. 28on27 and 1315 weren’t always the venues they are now, but owner Laura Little saw potential in the interiors and with her expertise and passion for art and design, she transformed the spaces into the multi-functional venues they are today. I sat down with Laura to chat about what inspired her two successful spaces and how she makes it all work: JK: Why did you choose to name the spaces 28on27 and 1315 the way you did? LL: The spaces are the buildings’ numbers. So it was easy and organic. You'll never forget where your going..ha. JK: What’s special about the spaces? What’s their “theme?” LL: Each space is meant to be comfortable, and easy to make “your own.” I love interesting spaces that are unique and have a different vibe. I think both spaces reflect that. 28on27 has amazing white pillars and black iron window molding. It’s a small detail but when I saw the space I could see it working. JK: What is your favorite thing about each of the spaces? Is there a specific design feature, piece of artwork, etc, that you feel “makes the space?” LL: For 1315 it has to be the windows and the high ceilings. The space feels so open and full of air and light. In the afternoon, it’s simply beautiful. 28on27 has more old-school New York charm. And it’s in such an unexpected place! The surprise of it is beautiful. JK: Do you incorporate your photography into the space? If so, how? LL: There’s no physical art work hanging in the spaces, but once a year I do an art exhibit, as I'm a photographer (and artist).. and we just opened an online store with the intention to curate and sell photography. My office is also packed with art. So it’s incorporated into the business and our daily lives. Art makes us happy. JK: What is your most unforgettable memory regarding the spaces? LL: Hiding in my office from Chris Brown! That's the worst/best memory so far!  JK: Haha! Why did you hide from him? Did he find you? LL: I can't tell you...but he didn't find me.
