It started with Harry

There are three main things you will ultimately see on this website: furniture, art, and plants. I imagined that one day I would contribute to making homes very peaceful tranquil environments and these would be my essential building blocks for a timeless home.

I bought my first Harry Bertoia diamond chair replica two years ago. I didn’t know what I bought. I loved the design. The next day I flew to NYC and read No Compromise: The Life of Florence Knoll. I went to MoMA and for the first time, I looked at furniture there and not at everything else in the museum.

I got home and started to rapidly educate myself. Buying, selling, and learning. I found a mentor who has been teaching me how to refinish furniture. I give all my upholstery projects to the best craftsmen in Los Angeles who work on the best seating objects. I expanded where I buy from.

I got a few seasoned dealers to teach me the craft of buying and selling. Ultimately, I defined what I wanted to be known for - the selection of pieces, their treatment with fabrics and finishes, and respecting the origin of each one while making it fit perfectly in a modern home.

How does someone with two business degrees, who was also teaching marketing at LMU, go on to learn how to refinish furniture? Shouldn't I be in some corner office in between insanely important meetings? No. I’d rather be working on legendary pieces of design history. The pieces that can make someone’s home more tranquil and enjoyable.

they’re getting a second life.

Not everything needs to be refinished, but I find it particularly satisfying to source and completely rework each piece. I want my chairs and sofas to look cozy and inviting but have the resilience of commercially approved fabrics and leather. Here is a short glimpse into what goes on in the daily life of a furniture dealer and restorator.
