Industry Structures - What are Design Houses?

Design houses are companies of artists that deal with clients both externally and internally. They typically work with an in house style (a shared style that the artists adapt) underneath a creative director. It is generally extremely difficult to get into a design house that allows you to keep your own style (a house such as NoBrow).

[Following information from here]

The art market exists only in cities where the capital attracts economic activity towards the market, with the U.S. leading 50% sales of contemporary artists. The current market is experiencing an influx of buyers from younger collectors - this is a new demographic that is good for the artwork and, in turn, design houses. It is from this information where we can source design houses; they will be situated where the most work can be found.

Some examples of Design Houses are as follows:
DKNG Studios
Shed Labs
Sawdust
Nobrow
