Exhibition Snapshot: Cleveland Art
We are on the ground at Dwell on Design, exploring the conference and talking to exhibitors. First up is Cleveland Art, a furniture design company that specializes in pieces made from salvaged industrial materials.
Cleveland Art, with showrooms in Cleveland and in Los Angeles, set up a good spot to display their pieces made from recycled industrial machinery. We flagged down Jeff Dreher, who heads the 7,000-square-foot showroom in downtown Los Angeles. He says that while the table and floor lamps displayed above, made from repurposed hand-blown glass, are among the store's most popular items, he prefers the heavy steel casegoods and storage items from the store's vase inventory.
