Mid-Century House Tour in LA | Ten Thousand | Dining Room

Design Story

The Ten Thousand dining room was conceptualized as a sanctuary where quiet poetry in form meets practical luxury. The designer leaned into the ethos of Mid-century Interior Design, celebrating natural materials, fluid geometries, and modernist restraint. The focal point is a custom-crafted table with a sculptural wooden base and a glass surface that allows light to dance across its structure. Surrounding chairs with curved chrome arms and saddle leather seats recall timeless icons of 1960s craftsmanship while introducing tactile warmth.

Lighting was designed to play a pivotal role. Black sculptural pendants cast soft pools of illumination, while expansive Los Angeles views filter through horizontal blinds, creating rhythmic shadows across the floor. The careful layering of materials—wood grain, leather patina, ceramic glaze—imbues the room with depth and intimacy, while the restraint in color palette ensures a sense of modern clarity.

Favorite Element:

“The dining table feels like an art installation—every time I sit here, it reminds me of the beauty of sculptural design in everyday life,”

Biggest Challenge & Solution:

The challenge was to avoid overwhelming the modest footprint while introducing statement pieces. The solution lay in using glass and reflective surfaces to create visual lightness, allowing sculptural furniture to command attention without crowding the space.

Budget:

With $35,000 allocated, every selection was curated for long-term collectible value. The investment emphasized high-end furniture and art-like pieces, ensuring the space doubles as both dining area and gallery.

The dining space is a natural extension of the owner’s cosmopolitan lifestyle. Mornings begin with quiet reflection, bathed in natural LA sunlight, while evenings host intimate dinners with industry peers. The Mid-century Interior Design ethos, complemented by brands such as Roche Bobois, Louis Vuitton Objets Nomades, and Versace Home accessories, underscores the sophistication of the residence. For the homeowner, it is not just a dining area—it is a venue for artful living. Here, conversations unfold over bespoke tableware, fine wines, and sculptural backdrops that impress equally during a business lunch or an after-show gathering.

Best Designers Furnitures Recommendation

• Coat Stand: Zanotta Sciangai (by De Pas, D'Urbino & Lomazzi) – Inspired by the delicate tension of the Chinese pick-up sticks game, the Sciangai unfolds with a poetic simplicity—its slender wooden rods pivoting from a central steel grommet to become a functional sculptural accent. Designed in 1973, this Empathic icon won the prestigious Compasso d’Oro in 1979 and continues to grace museum collections worldwide, including the MoMA and Triennale Design Museum.

• Console Table: Zanotta Reale (by Carlo Mollino) – Conceived in 1947 for the Reale Mutua insurance offices, this console table marries an organically light wood structure—suggestive of an aircraft wing—with a crystal-clear or Emperador marble top that seems to float above. Crafted through an ingenious joint system and reissued by Zanotta in the mid-1980s, the Reale stands as a poetic reawakening of Mollino’s visionary elegance.
