LAUN is a brand-new design label based in Los Angeles -- it focuses on delivering modern furniture pieces made locally in Southern California. It was founded by both Molly Purnell and Rachel Bullock and the label recently dropped its first two pieces. The debuting furniture items are the Demille Lounge Chair and the Confetti Side table, both of which are designed to be outdoor furniture pieces to elevate open spaces with sophistication.
LAUN's DeMille Lounge Chair is inspired by the city's East side and the "streamlined moderne" architecture design. It is comprised of a fame constructed with stainless steel and made comfortable with the detachable upholstered cushions. The Confetti Side Table is constructed from terrazzo and takes on a structure that imitates an hourglass.
