In celebration of this new year and start of a new decade, bulthaup Los Angeles and Compass agent Lynda Kahn hosted a magnificent paella feast with renowned chef Javier Plascencia. Javier set up his paella pan just outside the showroom, cooking al fresco while guests sipped on Cava Sparkling Brut and savored, fresh from the Sea of Cortez, scallop tostadas. The theme for the evening; for the decade and beyond: Let’s take care of each other. Everyone was invited to serve their neighbor from the family style paella pans set on each of the tables.

benefit! our special fundraiser for the nutrition-focused nonprofit Common Threads, that we have held with great success in our Chicago and Miami showrooms, was tremendous in Los Angeles! Once again, the creative community reinterpreted our bulthaup tray creating signature pieces for silent auction, raising funds for Common Threads whose mission foregrounds health and home-cooking for children and families. Chef Monti, who teaches a Common Threads program, shared her personal story of food scarcity and spoke animatedly and passionately about her work with the organization.

Thank you for the collaboration of K2 Restaurants and Wine by Winc for making this a beautiful and very memorable evening for all!

It was a LOVEfest at bulthaup Los Angeles with Valentines lovingly made to Bruce Goff, Alvar Aalto, Ray Eames, Luis Barragan, and more! Those who did not have a chance to create a Valentine to their favorite artist or designer in advance did so on site with traditional materials that harkened back to the days of our youth…construction paper, doilies, glitter…remember? And if not inspired to create, there was inspiration to nibble, on Piadini with prosciutto, crab cakes, crispy artichoke, ahi tuna with avocado, and, of course, gourmet chocolate confetti!
