Our new concept space has opened in the LA Arts District. Romancing life’s simple pleasures, the store brings together selected pieces from like-minded creators, to form a space where conversation, community and collaboration are celebrated. First up, we have partnered with Patrick Parrish Gallery, M.Crow, Apparatus Books and Li, Inc Studio – their limited edition and one of a kind pieces can be found in store alongside our men’s and women’s collections.
Apparatus
Founded in 2012 by Gabriel Hendifar and Jeremy Anderson, Apparatus Studio was born from playful experimentation with vintage lighting components. Aged brass, etched glass, leather, marble and porcelain are combined to create lighting fixtures, furniture, and objects that fuse sculptural form with hand-worn materials. Within our space are two custom horsehair sconces, finished and assembled by hand in New York. Evoking the grace and strength of their equine contributor, wefts of horsehair are combined with brass and etched glass. Made to order, with customization available.
Patrick Parrish
Curator, collector and sometimes painter, Patrick Parrish founded his namesake gallery in New York in 2000 – a unique space that exhibits young, emerging artists and designers alongside unexpected, rare, mid-century pieces. Within our space you will find hand-picked, limited-edition items from both past and present designers.
This plywood desk and chair are part of a small series produced by the now-defunct, Minneapolis-based design studio RO/LU. The design duo – Matt Olson and Mike Brady – were known for creating across disciplines, with much of their activity falling in-between specific categories.
