Samuel Heath

"Established in 1820, Each piece is meticulously formed from
the purest Northern European solid brass in their Birmingham factory"

In a few days, I'm off to New York to meet with some amazing craftsmen. Samuel Heath is a company that has been producing solid brass works for the home since 1820 in England. A company with almost 200 years experience working in their field! This company and others have sponsored my trip out to NY for the AD Home Show, an incredible opportunity. - David John


Their Fairfield Collection pulls from "the formality of the Victorian and Edwardian period whilst drawing in subtle hints of the ‘organic’ more reminiscent of Art Nouveau."


"Offering insight into the rich character and craftsmanship of the late 19th century, the Fairfield collection embodies the diversity, eclecticism and luxury of the Arts and Crafts Movement. Rather than being retrospective in design, the Fairfield collection of taps, showers and accessories is evocative of the spirit of the era and very much at the forefront of today’s demand for soft curves and forthcoming trends towards re-styling nostalgic design and interiors that create a quiet drama."

a tour of Modern-Aire

a custom hood in it's last moments before getting shipped.




Modern-Aire
is one of the generous sponsors for the upcoming Modenus blog tour in NYC in a few weeks. This morning, I took a tour of their facility in North Hollywood, where they produce their stunning, custom-made hoods. It's rare to see small companies producing everything in-house these days, but this is Modern-Aire's way. I admire their dedication to craft. With over 56 years here in Los Angeles, it's impressive to hear how a company is able to produce honest, useful, and beautiful works for the home.

In one area of the warehouse, sheets of metal are cut in preparation. Next they are formed by an artisan that has worked with the company 20 plus years, and assembled by hand, then powder-coated to perfection, and shipped off in their warehouse. Truly astounding to see these hoods being built before my eyes. Their custom work ranges from ultra-modern seamless hoods to traditional decorative hoods.

Thanks Robert, see you in New York. - David John
