Gregory Hawthorne Original Fantasy Painting from Steve Chase Designed Residence
By Steve Chase, Gregory Hawthorne
Located in Palm Springs, CA
This beautiful painting by artist Gregory Hawthorn was from a art collectors Palm Springs estate. Mr. Hawthorne’s work was chosen for many interiors designed by the late, great Steve Chase. This painting is a fantasy oil on board with a 3-D effect of a woman’s face. The detail on the painting is fascinating. It obtains the original beautiful cream frame. Ready to hang. Mr. hawthorns vintage work has become very sought after and collectible. STEVE CHASE: Known for their contemporary elegance and comfort, Steve Chase’s residential interiors embodied the casual yet opulent style of California’s affluent. Natural elements such as wood, granite and leather prevailed in his sensuous designs, often enhanced by subtle lighting. Preferring to work closely with each project’s architect, Chase deftly blended all the elements of design to create a whole greater than the sum of its parts. Realizing his talents earlier than most, Chase began shaping his career and his distinctive style at age seventeen when he joined the design firm of La Tienda in Los Angeles. A 14-year affiliation with Arthur Elrod Associates followed, ending in 1980 with the founding of his namesake firm, Steve Chase Associates. With a staff of more than 20 based in Rancho Mirage, California, Chase’s projects extended beyond his signature residential work to include aircraft, yachts and homes in such far-off lands as Singapore and Germany. In addition, Chase designed the Bob Hope Cultural Center, the Behring Auto Museum and several West Coast...

Pair of Taupe Linen Modern Sofas from a Steve Chase Residence Illuminated Base
By Directional, Steve Chase
Located in Palm Springs, CA
Yes… they are amazing. The provenance doesn't get any better than this: A all-original penthouse in Rancho Mirage designed by the late design icon, Steve Chase. We spent over $4000 on new, high end European linen blend fabric and reupholstering these the way they deserved to be. The taupe tanish/silver linen fabric has a high end almost metallic sheen to it. The left and right pair of sofas were designed and made by Directional in the 1980s. . They look very much in the style of Kagan or Springer. The part that makes them so chic is the end with a curved chaise...
