A very grand Grand Opening.

We send a very warm "thank you" to all the folks who joined us for the Grand Opening of our new Costa Mesa Studio in California. Many familiar faces were in the crowd, including designers Sean Yoo, Christopher Farr, Jeffrey Bernett and Nicholas Dodziuk. Eames Demetrios joined us from the Eames Foundation and architects Sayigh+Duman, who designed the space, were also there to soak in the praise for their beautiful work.

The designer of our popular Matera Bedroom Collection, Sean Yoo admits to covering his walls with “pictures of sexy chairs from DWR catalogs.” After seeing this photo, we're wondering: Are all the sexy chairs hidden behind beautiful women?

We never thought Jeffrey Bernett looked like Jesus. Until now.
