Steal This Look: Hollywood Hills Kitchen by From the Desk of Lola
Issue 3 · Belle Epoque · January 19, 2010
When Alexandra Loew of the NY/LA–based interior architecture firm From the Desk of Lola designed her own kitchen in the Hollywood Hills, she sought to make it as green—and as stylish—as possible. "I used a sink made from 90 percent recycled steel, a natural rubber floor, and no VOC paint," she says. Recreate the look with the following resources.
Above: Noguchi Lamp 70EN (27 by 13 inches); $230 at OK in Los Angeles.
Above: Loew used an undermount Model 3226 stainless steel sink (measuring 27 by 18 by 10 inches) from Canadian company Julien; go to Julien for dealer information.
Above: The classic Arne Jacobsen–designed Vola Pillar Tap starts at $966 at Quality Bath; the faucet is available in several powder-coated finishes; Loew used Dove Gray (color 9) in her kitchen.
Above: For her countertops, Loew used Corian in a gray/green shade called Clay; to find a dealer, go to Corian.
Above: David Weeks Shell Sconce; available in black or ivory as well as in custom colors (Loew used matte black); go to David Weeks for ordering information.
Above: KitchenAid Artisan 5-Quart Stand Mixer in caviar; $231.19 at Amazon.
Above: Black Matte-Finished Metal Switchplate; $9.99 at Arnev.
Above: Milton Brook Mortar & Pestle; $25 at Cookware.
Above: Loew used Arne Jacobsen's classic (and pricey) Vola Drawer Pull Knob; $53.10 at iBath and Tile.
Above: Loew used durable rubber flooring from German company Nora's Uni Series in Steel (color 2454); go to Nora for information but note that this is a commercial flooring.
Above: For the walls, Loew used Smoked Trout from Farrow & Ball.
