Wilshire Console was designed by Paul László around 1942 and crafted in varnished solid ash. Originally custom-made for the Los Angeles residence of film producer and screenwriter Joan Harrison, the piece reflects László’s refined approach to furniture design, combining architectural rigor with elegant proportions. Conceived as part of a complete interior scheme, the console embodies the sophistication and bespoke craftsmanship that defined his work during Hollywood’s golden age.
Ecart
Founded in Paris in 1978 by Andrée Putman, Ecart International was among the first companies dedicated to rediscovering and reissuing the work of overlooked pioneers of early twentieth-century modern design. Through meticulous research and a distinctive curatorial vision, the brand brought iconic creations by designers such as Pierre Chareau, Jean-Michel Frank, Eileen Gray, and Robert Mallet-Stevens back into production, playing a key role in their international revival. Alongside its historic reissues, Ecart International developed collaborations with contemporary designers and its own creative studio, establishing a lasting reputation for timeless modernity, refined craftsmanship, and understated elegance.
