TheInheritanceCollection
Designed and made in Los Angeles In 2011 Stephen Kenn created The InheritanceCollection with a view to simplify upholstered furniture by exposing the structure and using minimal materials.
Each piece begins as a plated steel frame withsupporting belts composed of cotton webbing andleather. The feather down pillows and foam seatcushions are upholstered with canvas, wool or leather.
In 2016 the collection was expanded to include a dining table and chair, a bed, and several smaller tables. The collection is produced entirely in Los Angeles andStephen is present for every step of the productionprocess, from first sketch to completed piece.
Using sustainable materials and practicing responsible manufacturing have always been essential parts ofStephen’s design work with The Inheritance Collection.
A Military Canvas Sofa with quilted military canvas and indigo cotton pillows.
A mix of steel & leather and steel & oak Dining Chairs complement the Inheritance Dining Table.
Good design
should embody
the simplest, most
functional form
and the materials
used should wear
well into the future.”
