Stephen, who once designed fashion is now reflecting on art, object making, and furniture. At an accelerating rate, designers are launching companies with items produced locally in this city.<br /><br />Stephen mentioned <a href="http://maxlamb.org/"><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">Max Lamb</span></span></a>, and design icons <a href="http://www.vitra.com/en-us/"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">VITRA</span></span></a> as models of inspiration. He is attracted towards work that speaks of a story. It's also extremely important to Stephen that his products are made locally. His Inheritance Collection is from repurposed materials combined with a modern, comfortable design that is conducive to community and conversation. If you are in L.A., I suggest dropping by, drinking some coffee, and having old fashioned conversation.
