I recently returned from a sourcing trip to Los Angeles where I scoped out the latest furniture collections at Ralph Pucci,Apparatus Studio and Carpenters Workshop Gallery. Each showroom has its own unique vibe and style; the common thread is handmade, bespoke, luxury furnishings and lighting.
APPARATUS STUDIO
Stepping inside the newly renovated Apparatus showroom felt like stepping into another (much sexier) world. Founded in 2012 by Gabriel Hendifar and Jeremy Anderson, the studio began as a passion project born out of a shared love for art, design, and craftsmanship. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted in the studio's New York City workshop, where traditional techniques are paired with modern technology.
From the ethereal Cloud collection, inspired by celestial forms and constructed from handblown glass and brass, to the architectural Trapeze collection, which reimagines geometric shapes in unexpected configurations, each collection showcases the studio's commitment to pushing the boundaries of lighting design.
RALPH PUCCI
Ralph Pucci is one of Niche's top destinations for designer collaborations and a mix of distinctive furniture styles. The roster of designers represented by Ralph Pucci spans a spectrum of styles and disciplines. Renowned names such as Vladimir Kagan, Jens Risom, and Patrick Naggar are celebrated for their contributions to modern design, while emerging talents like Chris Lehrecke and Paul Mathieu bring fresh perspectives and innovative approaches to the table.
Patrick Naggar's furniture designs often feature clean lines, luxurious materials, and subtle detailing, resulting in pieces that are both strikingly modern and timelessly elegant.
CARPENTERS WORKSHOP GALLERY
With its global presence spanning across London, Paris, New York, and Los Angeles, Carpenters Workshop Gallery was founded on the principle of merging traditional craftsmanship with avant-garde design. On view now is a collection of lighting and furniture by Italian architect and designer Vincenzo De Cotiis. Influenced by the decay and patina of urban environments, De Cotiis developed a signature aesthetic characterized by a juxtaposition of raw, industrial elements with luxurious materials.
