Organic Modernism

( Bob Chamberlin / Los Angeles Times )

Owner Touche Zertuche walks through his Organic Modernism home furnishings business. Organic Modernism, 315 N. La Brea Ave., (323) 525-0911. Opened in July as the first West Coast branch of the Brooklyn, N.Y.-based manufacturer and retailer, which offers accessibly priced furniture based on original designs in metal and midcentury classics in wood. With deep-colored, wood-clad walls, plank floors and an array of antlers, the store has an urban hunting-lodge vibe that sets off modern designs inspired by the likes of Saarinen and Raymond Loewy.
