“The Salvage Kings” Urban Hardwoods featured in Los Angeles Times Home
Urban Hardwoods was recently featured in L.A. Times Home — read the excerpt below and click through to the full article on the L.A. Times Website.
Four years ago, before the words “salvaged” and “repurposed” had become as cliche as red coral and self-declared “curators,” the cover of our print section featured three guys in Seattle. John Wells, Seth Meyer and Jim Newsom stood by giant slabs of discarded timber — a tree cut that had been cut down by the city and later turned into the coffee table pictured at the bottom of the page. The caption pointed out that if you look closely, you can match the table’s crevice to the right slab.

Design Notebook: Dwell on Design (Los Angeles)
by Philip Stites
Saturday I hit the “Dwell on Design Show” at the LA convention center.
A few highlights:
Ford & Ching were in position with Ango and one of the racier high lights of the show, a “nearly” anatomically correct stool…note photo attached.
Beth Thorne (she used to work for Therien) introduced her line called Espina Collection. Of particular note is the naturalist bronze table…
The new Dyson fans were amazing. Beautiful design and functional….
The modular structures of Gregg Fleishman who has gone from chairs to buildings…
LCDQ member Silestone and his inovative tiles….
And as always with Dwell the heavy push for “green” anything….
Not forgetting the truly bizarre and tacky…. take a look in the album at the “dog rug”, and chair with spouts….
- Philip Stites.

Rare Hungarian Neo Baroque Chair by Lajos Kozma
available at Szalon
Lajos Kozma, the pre-eminent architect/designer of 20th Century Hungary — designed this Neo Baroque chair. It was designed during his “Kozma Baroque” period of the 20’s before he went into Art Deco, and later to the clean Modernism of the 30’s. The chair was made in his Budapest workshop that he established in 1913.
Judith Hoffman of Szalon purchased the chair in Budapest, one of her very rare finds during one of her many trips to Hungary. It was later restored in Judith’s own Budapest workshop.
More photos of this chair can be seen on Szalon’s Facebook page as well as more information on 1stDibs.
Tips and Tricks from Peter Grisdela
at Hollywood Sierra Kitchens
A great tip from Peter Grisdela at Hollywood Sierra Kitchens: If you have a 1950′s stove that you are in love with (think of the inefficiency here), consider replacing it with an AGA PRO+ range — available in many fabulous colors and more importantly, the efficiency and performance you would expect in a modern appliance.
More images of these fabulous AGA Pro+ ranges can be seen on the La Cienega Design Quarter Facebook page.
