A. Quincy Jones' Smalley House
A. Quincy Jones' Smalley House
Archibald Quincy Jones FAIA was a Los Angeles-based architect and educator known for innovative buildings in the modernist style and for urban planning that pioneered the use of greenbelts and green design. He built Smalley House in Holmby Hills (1969-73) and is one of Jones’s largest single-family residences. Bought by Shulamit Nazarian in 2006, she did not have the house redesigned, only the garden.
The living room, a masterpiece in itself, boasts the iconic Mushroom Chair by Artifort, a piece of furniture that has earned its place in the permanent collection of the prestigious Museum of Modern Art in New York. The Mushroom F560 is not just a chair; it's an epitome of timeless design. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this armchair seamlessly blends sensitivity with strength and its presence transforms any space into an oasis of artistic elegance.
