Slim picking last weekend  Robert Fritz Robert Sperry

Flowers for Aline: An Exhibition by Sogetsu Ikebana Los Angeles Branch at the  Hollyhock House  (1921). At Aline Barnsdall's request,  Frank Lloyd Wright Wright incorporated her favorite flower, the hollyhock, into the design of the house. Multiple buildings were planned for the property but after delays and cost overruns, only this main house and two guest houses were completed by Wright.  RM Schindler served as the project manager. In 1927 Aline donated the property to the City of Los Angeles.  The front door.   This composition, in a Frank Lloyd Wright planter box, is by Auralynn Nguyen. This was only my second visit to Hollyhock, which I should be ashamed of. It's a UNESCO World Heritage site. The only one in Los Angeles. In addition to the incredible house, it sits upon a hill with some of the best views of LA.

  Isamu Kenmochi Kathuo Mathumura for Yamaguchi. At least that is what the label says. The designer is really  Katsuo Matsumura. Obviously a letter was switched in translation. I had a set of tables before with the same incorrect label.  Eames ESU, another second series.
