LAUN’s Sculptural Ribbon Collection Is Growing

Known for their California-inspired furniture designs as much as their architectural practice, Los Angeles-based design studio LAUN is expanding its outdoor Ribbon Collection. Two new pieces – the Ribbon Curved Sofa and the Ribbon Curved Bench – are joining the family of aluminum furniture. Modular in design like the rest of the collection, the curved sofa and bench can be moved around to create various seating situations to suit your needs. They were created by experimenting with the proportions and forms of the original Ribbon collection, allowing for the further expansion of its capabilities.

Our Place Opens Melrose Retail Spot With Colors That Reflect Their Pans

If you’ve spent any amount of time on social media the past three years, chances are you’ve run across the cookware brand Our Place. Founded in 2019 by Shiza Shahid, the direct-to-consumer brand has grown from its start-up days to now opening up their second Los Angeles retail location in West Hollywood. After the success of their Mythology-designed Venice location, Our Place turned to Ringo Studio to create a new store on Melrose that complements their designs and ethos. Alongside visually delightful product displays and a color palette that matches the colors of their popular pans, the space includes the Building a Bigger Table Room that exudes their mission to “welcome everyone to have a seat at the table.”

The store is designed as a one-stop shop where customers can check out the brand’s cookware, tableware, and kitchen tools up close. The home-like atmosphere features curated product vignettes that make each piece stand out, almost like a sculptural piece of art.

While the brand started with just one product – the Always Pan – they’ve expanded their line to include the newer Mini Always Pan, Perfect Pot, Mini Perfect Pot, Ovenware Set, dinnerware, drinkware, serveware, and kitchen tools.

The Building a Bigger Table Room features curvy lavender fabric panels that hang from the ceiling, mimicking the curves of the wavy dining table. Mirrored walls give the appearance that the table spans into infinity, thereby making enough room for everyone to have a seat.
