COMMUNE: DESIGNED IN CALIFORNIA

Commune was established in Los Angeles in 2004 by four like-minded souls - Roman Alonso, Steven Johanknecht, Pamela Shamshiri, and Ramin Shamshiri - with a common mission: to enhance life through design, and to blur the lines between disciplines, eras, and styles. California is for those who refuse to conform and who live for freedom of expression, indoor / outdoor living, and that golden sunshine glinting off the waves of the Pacific. Hot off the Harry N. Abrams press, Commune: Designed in California perfectly captures this spirit and embodies a new California style that freely mixes old and new in its layered, highly personal interiors that embrace color, pattern, and texture. Housed in a graphically striking slipcase, this stylish publication celebrates the influential firm's ten years of designing hotels, commercial spaces, restaurants, and private residences, along with the decorative objects Commune has commissioned from a host of today's most inspiring contemporary California artisan craftspeople.
