Cali Orange Crush: Mixture








I met with Merrilee Ekstrom, of Mixture to discuss using some of their modern furniture for the outdoor lounges at the Cali Orange Crush opening reception.  It is always a pleasure working with Mixture, and everyone is so friendly and professional.  I am thrilled that they are willing to support my show!
After walking around their large showroom, full of such amazing modern pieces, we picked out a variety of pieces to use.  Sticking to plastics, which are durable and easily cleaned, we chose orange, gray and clear colors.  Included are stock photos of the designs.  For the chairs: Jasper Morrison Air Chair and Air Arm Chair, Phillip Stark La Marie and Victoria Ghost Chair, and a Ron Arad Voido Rocking Chair.  For tables: Patricia Aurguola clear T-table (and privately owned Jonathan Adler orange side tables).
Now I just have to measure the outdoor space and decide how to set up the two lounge areas.
I wrote about Mixture in the San Diego Design Guide, and definitely recommend any decor guru to stop into this shop.  They have such great taste in modern design, and have expanded their art collection as well.  
Mixture: The large split-level warehouse holds an extensive amount of contemporary and modern home furnishings and accessories, and offers custom furniture and interior design services. The store’s sun soaked and breezy spaces are clad with exclusive products from Cor, Artifort, e15 and Moooi (check out the studly horse lamp!). And don’t overlook the Scavolini kitchens, Kettal outdoor furniture, Grey Designs lamps, and other accent pieces. The exposed concrete walls are adorned with original art from various artists, and periodically Mixture will host exhibitions and other events worth checking out.
