Interior designer Josh Greene has unveiled the Agapanthus Collection which has been made with elements of his childhood in Southern California. He draws on memory, locality, materiality, and more with a central focus on a place and time where it came from. He collaborates with design firm Lawson-Fenning to deliver a harmonious furniture collection.
It aims to bring a feeling of returning to home with references of the 80s, where he grew up. Glenn Lawson, co-founder of Lawson-Fenning speaks about the design, "Josh often customizes our pieces, and it’s amazing to see how he transforms something familiar. At a certain point, it became clear he was essentially designing within our framework. Giving him his own line made perfect sense."
