Top furniture builders come together for first-ever LA*SHO

LOS ANGELES - March 25, 2015 - PRLog -- The first-ever LA*SHO – a premier contemporary furniture show featuring work from notable designers and makers – takes place Friday, April 10 from 5-11 p.m. at Think Tank Gallery (939 Maple Avenue, Suite 200) in Los Angeles’ Fashion District.

The show is curated and presented by furniture maker Jason Radcliffe, owner of 44 Steel, who in 2009 founded Cleveland’s annual design show called F*SHO. After competing in the first season of Spike TV’s furniture-building competition reality show “Framework,” Radcliffe decided to bring the contemporary furniture show to Los Angeles.

Radcliffe has recruited top furniture makers to participate in LA*SHO, many who competed on “Framework” and HGTV’s “Ellen’s Design Challenge.” The initial list of designers and makers confirmed to showcase their work includes:

§  Jory Brigham – San Luis Obispo, California

§  Garrett Brown – Denver, Colorado

§  Lacey Campbell – Toledo, Ohio

§  Peter Debelak – Cleveland, Ohio

§  Gaspar De Jesus – Los Angeles, California

§  Nate Hall – San Diego, California

§  Freddy Hill – Cleveland, Ohio

§  Leslie Shapiro Joyal – Los Angeles, California

§  Jason Radcliffe – Cleveland, Ohio

§  Amir Raveh – Tel Aviv, Israel

§  Joe Ribic – Cleveland, Ohio

§  Rahil Taj – Los Angeles, California

§  Stephen Yusko – Cleveland, Ohio

A trailblazer in the design world, Radcliffe says, “I have focused my efforts on cultivating the design scene in Cleveland and beyond. LA*SHO is an exciting way to highlight the work of such talented makers.”

LA*SHO is sponsored by 44 Steel, Zombie Blood Hot Sauce, Think Tank Gallery and Gorilly. In addition to the April 10 show, the furniture show is open “by appointment only” on Saturday, April 11.
