Ikebana Story

Guests enjoyed sushi and sake before settling in for Sensai Ravi GuneWardena’s presentation, “Sogetsu School and the Avant Garde,” and demonstration. Inspired, everyone then created their own Ikebana arrangement that incorporated an object from home they had brought especially for inclusion. Our showroom was filled with flowers and creative energy!

In our Los Angeles showroom, ceramic sculptures by Maria Moyer organically engage with bulthaup design and materiality. There are 23 hand-built-ceramic pieces in this exhibition, created 2018 to 2020. All the works are stoneware with a surface treatment called terra sigillata used in ancient Rome; glazes are added as a structural element.

Paella Feast
January 22, 2020
In celebration of this new year and start of a new decade, bulthaup Los Angeles and Compass agent Lynda Kahn hosted a magnificent paella feast with renowned chef Javier Plascencia. Javier set up his paella pan just outside the showroom, cooking al fresco while guests sipped on Cava Sparkling Brut and savored his, fresh from the Sea of Cortez, scallop tostadas. The theme for the evening; for the decade and beyond: Let’s take care of each other. Everyone was invited to serve their neighbor from the family style paella pans set on each of the tables.

A Valentine Would Be Divine
February 13, 2018
It was a LOVEfest at bulthaup Los Angeles with Valentines lovingly made to Bruce Goff, Alvar Aalto, Ray Eames, Luis Barragan, and more! Those who did not have a chance to create a Valentine to their favorite artist or designer in advance did so on site with traditional materials that harkened back to the days of our youth…construction paper, doilies, glitter…remember? And if not inspired to create, there was inspiration to nibble, on Piadini with prosciutto, crab cakes, crispy artichoke, ahi tuna with avocado, and, of course, gourmet chocolate confetti!

Chef Natalia Pereira has projects she wants to see realized in Africa: even as simple as providing goats to a village. Her A Bite for Peace gatherings are about people coming together around a table to share stories, promote peace and community, and to raise some funds to make her projects happen. bulthaup Los Angeles was pleased to be host of this most recent dinner experience. The menu reflected flavors and ingredients of Kenya, served family style, culminating in an incredible coconut lamb stew. There was much laughter at the table and in the kitchen as everyone enjoyed good food and each other.
