Cisco is a Friend of Mine

I'm a big fan of Los Angeles furniture maker Cisco Pinedo. He started as a high school student reupholstering furniture after school and is now known throughout the country as a leader in the environmentally conscious furniture movement. Cisco Brothers pieces are well designed, well made, beautiful and sustainable. His style as well as furniture materials are mostly organic. I can't wait to get my hands on the Catalina chaise in a pre-washed cotton/linen blend for my bedroom. Most of the furniture designs in the family run business headed by Pinedo reflect his organic minimalist nature. The family house reflects a tranquil harmonious appeal that seems to block out the business of southern California and has it's roots in the sunny aesthetic...it doesn't disappoint.
