Next month, photographer and “TikTok’s pose king” David Suhwill relaunch his LA studio under a new name: DASU Studios. With this relaunch, comes a new look to reflect this next chapter: “a true meditative oasis within the hustle and bustle of LA that’s overflowing with greenery, warmth, light, and movement.” The new, ambient space will mirror the core values of DASU: simplicity, elegance, balance and harmony.
Inside the studio, Suh will also open Urban Oasis– a late-night tea house serving unique ceremonial tea blends, providing guests with an environment to reflect, connect, and experience the transformative power of artistic self-expression.
With a menu that features a tea-sommelier-curated selection of tea, mocktails, and small bites, Urban Oasis will be opening to the public in October.
The community space — designed with the help of the interior designer duo gry space (who also designed LA’s rkyn cafe and kodō) to mirror a zen garden — will also host various events like evening teas and reflections, sound baths and more.
David Suh has developed a cumulative audience of more than 6.4 million rooted in encouraging people to unapologetically celebrate themselves. Suh — who moved to the US from Seoul in 2013 — is an “evangelist of the idea that there’s no such thing as not being photogenic” (LA Times) and offers a safe haven for everyday people to get in front of the camera and “reclaim their inner and outer beauty.”
