    Clutter Bravado Ep 48: Is LA Manufacturing the Future of Design? Make it in LA with Kevin Kolanowski

    This week, Elyse and Laurent get serious about their love for Los Angeles and all California has to offer as they sit down with LA Manufacturer, Founder of Fuse Lighting Kevin Kolanowski. Long-time friend of Laurent Rebuffel and Kimberly Denman, Kevin began his career in design as a design student in Chicago who relocated to Los Angeles to pursue his career as an interior designer. What he didn't expect, was that a need for a piece of lighting that did not yet exist would create a path toward becoming one of the most notable LA-based makers of fine and luxury lighting fixtures over the course of 25 years. In a time of economic instability and an unpredictable future for importing and outsourcing within the interior design industry, Kevin and Laurent share something of a saving grace in common: local manufacturing and custom production. Kevin, through Fuse Lighting, is known to work closely with designers, creating custom pieces that the greater market lacks, in a Los Angeles-based workroom. This was no accident, either: Kevin shares his story of knocking on doors at workrooms and warehouses in DTLA, curious of what they were creating, and whether he might be able to work along with them. Finding vendors and custom workrooms is a challenge for any designer, but Kevin and Laurent share their experiences building their networks and creating a tightly-knit team of designers, creators, artisans, and vendors to support their vision for great interior design in Los Angeles.

    Clutter Bravado Ep 44: THIS is Why You NEED an Interior Designer with Kourosh Babaeian

    This week, Elyse and Laurent sit down with their dear friend and client Interior Designer Kourosh Babaeian (kbstudio.la), a young designer that has found the secret to staying busy and managing several projects at a time, while maintaining his inner child's desire to create beautiful spaces. In this episode, we discuss the importance of hiring a designer rather than going it alone in designing one's own home. While some homeowners might want to DIY their home renovation, or decorate their home using the latest trends in home decor, Kourosh shares why this could be a huge mistake. Stemming from his early childhood, Kourosh knew he was destined to be a successful designer. Through the power of raw talent, education at UCLA, and a willingness to ask questions, plus a hint of manifestation and a little luck, Kourosh remains in-demand as a hot young designer with an impressive portfolio.

    Clutter Bravado Episode 43: Design from the "Outside, In" with William Graper

    *Blending Psychology, Fashion, and Interiors* This week, Elyse and Laurent are joined by renowned fashion stylist-turned-designer William Graper. William Graper [williamgraper.com] created a name for himself in the New York fashion scene early into his career, getting his foot in the door at Interview Magazine, followed by an impressive tenure at Conde Nast. Williams keen eye for details and styling brought him into the world of interiors almost reluctantly, where he is now able to blend his own impeccable taste with his education in psychology to create a unique "outside, in" approach to working with clients. This interview was a fascinating departure from the usual conversation around the business of design, into the inner world of a designer who blends vulnerability, transparency, and a delicate touch to create homes that aren't just beautiful to photograph, but are meant to be lived in.

    Clutter Bravado Ep 42: Creating a Plan to Rebuild with Harper Halprin of AAHA Studio

    This week, Elyse and Laurent sit down with co-founder of AAHA Studio [aaha.studio] Harper Halprin to address the latest developments with Case Study 2.0 [https://www.casestudy2.com/] , a post-fire rebuild effort for Altadena and Pacific Palisades that invited architects to create fire- and disaster-resistant homes that don't just Build Back Better, but create an accessible solution for future rebuild efforts. Harper Halprin discusses her origins as a student at USC who traveled abroad with her now husband and business partner Aaron Leshtz, developing her "style agnostic" design approach through international influence, and what it's like to balance a full house and family, a successful architecture and design business, as well as her own creative inspiration.
