A Sense of Place: Three New Modern Architecture & Contemporary Living Books

Flexform SF/LA & Da Vinci Marble are hosting a celebration of three new modern architecture and contemporary living coffee table books featuring San Francisco Bay Area projects by Feldman Architecture, and works by other top Bay Area design professionals.

After free-lancing for several regional design publications in her early years, she spent over 25 years directing marketing for a San Francisco-based architecture firm. She left the firm in 2017 to pursue her love of storytelling and now works with numerous design, hospitality and wine clients to help them craft and convey their stories.

A family-run business founded in 2005 in San Carlos, California, Da Vinci Marble offers a bespoke service for a broad range of projects from elegant private homes to large-scale commercial projects.

33SIXTY:
33SIXTY is a luxury lifestyle company exclusively representing FLEXFORM with flagship showrooms in San Francisco and Los Angeles since 2014. In 1959 FLEXFORM was launched by the Galimberti brothers, in the small town of Meda, Italy. Artisans handcrafted sofas and upholstered chairs from the finest materials that would be sold into century-old apartments in Milan and the lavish villas overlooking Lake Como.

“Handcrafted in Italy”, “relaxed luxury”, and “modern design” are key characteristics that have led FLEXFORM to global recognition today as one of the top Italian brands of quality furniture. For the past 40 years one sole
designer, Antonio Citterio, has been coordinating the entire FLEXFORM collection.

At the helm of Flexform SF/LA is owner Gregory Herman, who ensures that the brand’s mission, history, approach, and distinctive products maintain the same integrity as they do in Italy and throughout the world.
