We connect exceptional artists with brands ready to create something meaningful and market-ready.
Founded by longtime creative director Margo Tantau, Tantau Studio carries forward the creative legacy of Lilla Rogers Studio—now reimagined for a new era of illustration, product development, and licensing.
With extensive industry roots, a sharp eye for what sells, and a deep respect for the artist’s voice, we connect bold art to big opportunity—with heart, clarity, and creative vision.
Where storytelling meets visual impact. Our artists make complex ideas accessible and words work harder—artfully. From magazines to branded content, we bring clarity, emotion, and style to the page.
Magic starts here. We create artwork that captures young imaginations, brings stories to life, delights kids, and engages the adults who love them. Perfect for books, educational learning, and products.
Where form meets feeling. Our artists create designs that bring style, story, and personality to everyday objects—from textiles to tabletop—turning products into favorites people live with and love.
Illustration that makes moments more meaningful. Our artists create designs that celebrate, connect, and say what matters—turning everyday cards into something people want to hold onto.
Surface design that tells a story. Our artists create patterns that catch the eye and capture imagination, perfect for textiles, paper goods, packaging, and products that need that extra touch of magic.
Where creativity breaks the mold. This is where our artists experiment, play, and push beyond the expected, creating signature pieces that define brands and spark trends.
We champion visionary artists who push creative boundaries and bring magic to everyday objects. Our artists create work that lights up children’s books, transforms products, and brings brands to life.
We are passionate about nurturing extraordinary talent from around the world connecting innovative artists with leading brands who share our love of exceptional design. Our curated roster delivers the unexpected, the delightful, and the commercially brilliant.
