Harrison McIntosh / Karl Benjamin

 Harrison McIntosh house, designed by Claremont architect Fred McDowell. It was part of a tour by Claremont Heritage.

Ikebana arrangement by my friend Auralynn Nguyễn.

In a McIntosh ceramic of course.

In addition to the many McIntosh pieces, there are quite of few pieces by Sam Maloof. 

Huge lantern by Harrison.

Karl Benjamin house, also by Fred McDowell. This and the McIntosh home are owned by the artist's children. They are doing a wonderful job preserving the legacy and so kind to open up their homes.

Another arrangement by Auralynn Nguyễn

This one too.

Studies by Benjamin.

I was pretty excited to see that Karl Benjamin was a Pacific Iron fan.

I couldn't figure this one out at first. I'm not sure about these pieces in particular but Karl traded a painting for some of his furniture. They made out on that deal. 

I'm pretty sure it's this Pacific Iron daybed that has been reconfigured somehow. The design is by John Keal. 

Karl was In the know too.
