After a successful debut at Design Miami, Converso opens its first ever West Coast design showroom in L.A., featuring a collection of rare furniture and sculptures by some of the most iconic and influential designers of the century. Owner Lawrence Converso shares with Design Milk that his decision of opening a location in Los Angeles stems from his strong connections in the city with dealers, friends and clients.
The design showroom is like an encyclopedia with physical instances of groundbreaking interior pieces— from the late Wendell Castle's sculpted coffee table and a rare tripod lamp by Philip Johnson to the German Expressionist vibe of the Monumental Argente Cabinet by Paul Evans and Mario Dal Fabbro's wooden sculptures.
