Today, mutinational firm CannonDesign announced a new relationship with San Francisco–based workplace interiors specialist Assembly Design Studio, which will join CannonDesign's corporate/commercial practice. Founded by Denise Cherry and Liz Guerrero in 2016, the 12-person studio counts Uber, Pinterest, Cisco, and Zillow among its clients.

“Clients today are asking design firms to help them push boundaries,” said CannonDesign CEO Brad Lukanic, AIA, in a press release. “Assembly will help broaden our impact on physical spaces, directly benefiting clients with new approaches, expanded teams, and collaborative solutions. Leveraging Assembly’s unique design sensibility and talent, coupled with our firm’s continual evolution will take us beyond where even our clients can imagine.”right

While CannonDesign has an existing San Francisco practice, Assembly Design will help to bolster the former's Northern California presence with Cherry and Guerrero joining as principals.

“This also positions our team to bring new perspectives to CannonDesign’s corporate interior practice on a national and global scale," Guerrero said in the release. "We’re excited about how this positions our team to lead the way in reshaping how workplaces help companies support their staff and achieve business and growth goals into the future.”

Assembly Design will continue doing business as Assembly/CannonDesign until it transitions to the CannonDesign name at an unspecified point in the future.
