Interview with Claret-Cup – XX|LA Episode 017

In this episode, I spent an evening chatting with the women of Claret-Cup at the Los Angeles Brewery Artists Colony. Claret-Cup was co-founded by Bojána Bányász and Donatella Cusmá, two architects who bonded over a love of Los Angeles, a shared value that architecture does not only serve its private owners, and a desire to work outside the normal bounds of a traditional practice. Their work crosses over to disciplines like fashion, graphic design, food making, and community building, and to me displays a sensitivity for creating multi-sensorial experiences and memories. We’re also joined by Marcee Krant, a native Angelino who works with Boja and Dona. Marcee does not have an architectural background, but comes from the fashion industry, and we hear her fresh perspective on what it’s like for her to work at Claret-Cup.
