László’s Californian clients included Cary Grant, Barbara Hutton and Billy Wilder; his archive is today re-edited by Ecart and documented largely through Julius Shulman’s photography held at the Getty Research Institute.
The Brentwood Coffee Table 1947 carries the name of one of Los Angeles’s most storied residential neighborhoods, a fitting reference for a piece designed by Paul László at the height of his California career, when the Hungarian-born architect was shaping the interiors of homes for clients ranging from Cary Grant to the Vanderbilt family. Re-edited today by Ecart, the table channels László’s gift for a modernism that felt warm and lived-in rather than austere.
Originally manufactured by Brown Saltman between 1947 and 1953, one of the Los Angeles furniture makers László relied on to bring his designs to a wider American clientele, the table is reissued here in solid ash, its grain left visible beneath a light finish. The low, generous proportions were designed for the relaxed, indoor-outdoor living rooms of postwar Los Angeles, a lifestyle László helped define for an entire generation of Southern California homeowners.
Founded in the late seventies, Ecart is the brainchild of the ineffable Andrée Putman, the brilliant aesthete who singlehandedly revived the neglected work of some great designers from the 1930s, including René Herbst, Jean-Michel Frank, Pierre Chareau and Eileen Gray. Following her instinct informed by her unique taste, Putman made the rather counterintuitive choice of re-editing some iconic designs from the past, despite the fact that, at the time, the business of furniture was all about newness.
