Company History

For more than twenty years, David Chapman has been a portrait and  beauty photographer, with a keen eye for impeccable portraits.  He was hired for numerous high-profile photo shoots from Cosmopolitan to Vogue . 

But when it came to rental studio shoots, Chapman noticed top hair and makeup stylists did not have proper work spaces and they were forced to set up make-shift beauty stations. They were using clip lights, extension cords, and cheap folding tables which resulted in disorganization and frustrated professionals. Add to that, high profile professionals and celebrities were visibly stressed while getting their hair and make-up done, feeling the negative effects of this lack of professionalism.

That’s what sparked Chapman to shift his artistic focus to design. He felt it was crucial to create and build portable on-site beauty stations that were easy to install, high quality, and clean.  They also needed to provide all the necessary amenities. The stations had to be durable and sturdy, but at the same time attractive in any space.
