Thomas Lavin | Portrait

ICONS – Carpets with Soul by JAB ANSTOETZ

Thomas Lavin is a key figure in the American design scene. More curator than traditional designer, more host than meticulous artist, his great talent lies in bringing together exclusive, often avant-garde collections by international and local designers in his showrooms in Los Angeles and Laguna Beach. His style thrives on constant change and is inspired by fashion, art and travel. For 25 years, the native Angeleno has been shaping his showrooms into hotspots for contemporary interior design in Southern California. His designs for the ICONS collection play with the luxurious flair of precious stones, the contrast between hard and soft, the tension between opulence and minimalism.
