Manhattan is moving west one chair at a time... For the past 10 years, DESIRON has been a must-visit destination in SoHo. For us folks who now live in Los Angeles (I'm speaking of myself, of course), we no longer have to wait for the odd trip across the country to lounge on DESIRON's hip, and oh-so-comfortable furniture. This past June the company opened their 5,000-square-foot showroom on Robertson Boulevard in West Hollywood.
With a family history in ironwork, owner and designer Frank Carfaro creates clean, simple, modern designs. The materials that go into each of his pieces are rich and varied. Ingredients include metals (of course!), as well as hardwoods in a plethora of finishes (from natural to black oxide), topped with a luxurious new textile line that includes 75 different fabrics (everything from vinyl and mohair to silk and linen). Best of all, each piece is bench-made by artisans at the company's factory in New Jersey.
Though you may not have had the opportunity to visit either of the bi-coastal locations (yet), chances are you've already experienced DESIRON's furniture, as it graces many fashionable spaces, such as Nobu and Ritz-Carlton. If not, check the company out online, or get yourself dressed up and go out for sushi.
