glimmering gems, her Diamond collection required nearly a year of testing before the mechanics were properly hidden. \u201cFor me, the most important thing was to make something quite abstract work

Los Angeles studio is the eclectic and colorful mix of furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Founder Leah Ring had been quietly making furniture on her own for years. But by 2017, she felt it was time to share the bevy of prototypes she\u2019d assembled in her Los Angeles workspace with the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI love product design and the creative control I have over the process,\u201d says the former interior designer for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/design-firms\/reath-design\/\">Reath<\/a>. \u201cI<meta charset=\"utf-8\">\u2019ll always do interior design as well, as I think the practices inform one another. But product design allows me to be a little more free in my creative expression.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ring\u2019s playful designs, which wink at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/memphis-group\/furniture\/\">Memphis Milano<\/a> and the late-1960s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/introspective-magazine\/radical-italian-design\/\">Italian Radical design movement<\/a>, are anything but ordinary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEverything starts with a sketch,\u201d she says, be it a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/tables\/side-tables\/vacation-table-another-human-contemporary-acrylic-table-tutti-frutti-style\/id-f_14554281\/\">see-through table filled with Tutti Frutti candy<\/a> or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/wall-decorations\/tapestry\/movin-on-up-blanket-contemporary-quilt\/id-f_12626702\/\">quilt that resembles a moving-truck blanket<\/a>. \u201cI tend to draw a bunch of versions of an idea to make sure I&#8217;m not missing something, but usually the finished product looks really close to my very first sketch.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From these sketches, she creates prototypes in her studio \u2014 <meta charset=\"utf-8\">\u201cI like using foam core to make full-scale models or at least models of some design details\u201d \u2014 after which she drafts more technical drawings, gathers samples and starts the conversation with her local craftsmen and fabricators. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"daniele-albright\">Daniele Albright, of <strong>Videre Licet<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/seating\/lounge-chairs\/subtracted-cube-videre-licet-2015\/id-f_7863783\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"709\" height=\"950\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/VidereLicet_SubtractedCube_location_crop2_master-709x950.jpg\" alt=\"Videre Licet Subtracted Cube chair, 2015\" class=\"wp-image-340239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/VidereLicet_SubtractedCube_location_crop2_master-709x950.jpg 709w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/VidereLicet_SubtractedCube_location_crop2_master-261x350.jpg 261w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/VidereLicet_SubtractedCube_location_crop2_master-90x120.jpg 90w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/VidereLicet_SubtractedCube_location_crop2_master-768x1030.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/VidereLicet_SubtractedCube_location_crop2_master-696x933.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/VidereLicet_SubtractedCube_location_crop2_master.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 100vw, 709px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/seating\/lounge-chairs\/subtracted-cube-videre-licet-2015\/id-f_7863783\/\">Videre Licet Subtracted Cube chair, 2015<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/daniele-albright\/\">Daniele Albright<\/a> embraces contradictions. \u201cI love conceptualizing things in a digital space but making them in natural materials,\u201d says the Los Angeles designer behind <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/videre-licet\/furniture\/\">Videre Licet<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe digital space is my sketchpad; I very rarely use a pencil and paper,\u201d Albright explains.
