Los Angeles Modernism Show 2015
Los Angeles Modernism Show 2015

     From April 24 through 26, Los Angeles’s Culver City plays host to a vast collection of iconic 20th-century furniture, art, jewelry and decorative objects offered at yet another edition of the Los Angeles Modernism Show. With dozens of dealers exhibiting at the much-anticipated annual event — attended in past years by such celebrities as Courtney Cox, Julie Bowen and Ted Danson and design aficionados like Kelly Wearstler and Cliff Fong — this year’s iteration presents no shortage of chic vintage finds.

     Missing the fair? Not to worry: Our editors’ selection from exhibiting 1stdibs galleries serves as both inspiration for the home and a visual encyclopedia of Modernism’s international mark. Included below: Early modern classics from the Art Deco period as well as selections from Georg Jensen’s prolific career in silverwork; Mid-century American and Scandinavian staples by the likes of McCobb, Henningsen, Parzinger, Platner, Noguchi and Baughman; and Brutalist signatures in brass and welded metal; plus outdoor decor, decorative glass and fine jewelry. Should you find the perfect piece, make sure to act fast.

Ellipse Coffee Table
By Isabelle Stanislas
Located in Paris, FR
Isabelle Stanislas’ life is a path paved with geometry, similar to the scalene triangle with its three different sides. This geometrical mix is omnipresent in everything she does and is: in her shared Moroccan, French and Israeli roots; in her work that combines interior decoration, architecture and furniture design; and in her inspiration composed of a permanent balance between a respect for history, the audacity of modernity, and her desire to reunite all of these in the fundamentally essential. In Isabelle’s own words: “To invent is not to question everything. It means using the existing light and space and projecting them into the present. Heritage is not condemned to a life behind a window of the past. If we respect heritage, if we understand its codes and values, then we can marry it with modernity without denaturing it. After all, the past, the present and the future have always been the three sides of the same scalene”. After graduating from l’Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts de Paris with a diploma in architecture, Isabelle Stanislas was rapidly noticed for her work on various collective artistic projects, displaying an open attitude to diverse forms of creative expression. In 2003, her work for the Zadig & Voltaire boutiques demonstrated her now trademark artistic approach, founded on the rationalization of space, the incorporation of authentic historical codes and a deliberately restrained use of neutral colors. This is a philosophy that she has continued to develop, notably through her architecture agency which she founded in 2006. Influenced by the work of Tadao Ando, Renzo Piano and Louis Khan...
