Carlsbad outdoor furniture company Maku Furnishings was recently written up by the Los Angeles blog Apartmenttherapy.com for their showing at the recent International Contemporary Furniture Fair May 19-22, 2007 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City.
One of our favorite Southern California companies we interviewed during ICFF was Maku Furnishings of Carlsbad, equally for the company’s modern outdoor furnishings, and also because of the company’s unusual origins. There’s not many stories of migrations from the world of snowboarding/surfing into the realm of home furnishings.
Johnny West, a former snowboard/ski industry worker and the company’s co-founder explains the company this way: “When I looked at the home furnishings industry I saw an opportunity to share that passion for living by bringing a more relevant product and story to the consumer.”
If you’re interested in checking out the furniture in an installed setting check out the new Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens in Escondido. The furniture is probably the tastiest item on the menu.
