Architects Designing Furniture: The Crossover of Craft & Space
February 12 @ 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm PST - FREE for members
Join AIA | LA Interior Architecture Committee and Tribù for an evening exploring the creative crossover between architecture, interiors, and furniture design—and how thinking at the scale of an object can transform the way we shape space.
Hosted inside the beautifully curated Tribù showroom, this program features Marc Merckx, Severine Tatangelo, and William Hefner—practitioners who move fluidly between room and object and bring real-world insights on process, craft, culture, and collaboration.
Together, the panel will explore how designers translate spatial thinking into furniture (and back again), what shifts in materiality and detailing across scales, and how teams navigate constraints like performance, ergonomics, and production—without losing the original design intent. Grounded in built work, the conversation will also consider how thoughtful design shapes daily experience and creative culture, and how interdisciplinary collaboration strengthens both the work and the communities it serves.
Rather than a free-form panel, the evening is designed as a guided, MC’d conversation led by Daniel Glaser and Pearse Lumb of Tribù, with clear themes to keep the pace strong—plus built-in moments to bring the audience in. Expect a lively discussion, practical takeaways, and time to connect over food and drinks among the collections.
