Shulman's house and studio by Raphael Soriano
Shulman had a nice collection of iron furniture by some great Los Angeles companies.  I'm sure they were some of the same pieces he would lug around to Case Study photo shoots.   These photos are from when the house was listed for sale in 2009.  Photos: davidbrayton.com

 It looks like the new owners are going to do some Dwell, BoConcept, Ikea remodel hack job on it:LA Curbed I hope they haven't tossed the iron scraps to make room for the brand new stuff.

PACIFICA This has been a very successful attempt to organize an attitude of mind, to state a way of living in  terms of the objects that create the  environment within a house. It is a gathering together of many  things for the purpose not only of illustrating a theme, but in order to bring into reality the means of  achieving pleasant informality in present-day servantless living. In general the tone derives from the  implications of the title given to it, and the work itself leans heavily upon the enormous background  developed through the years by designers, artists, and architects working in Western America who  have been influenced by the patterns of the living devices of the Pacific cultures.  - Arts & Architecture
