With an inaugural exhibition by Spanish sculptor Nacho Carbonell, @carpentersworkshopgallery’s long-awaited presence in Los Angeles is officially here. The gallery joins the likes of Lisson, Sean Kelly, Pace, The Hole, and Maccarone in bringing the blue-chip scene to West Coast-based collectors. Carbonell's pieces for the show—an illusory concrete tree, a cloud-like chandelier evocative of a cocoon, and an illuminated rainbow made of broken glass—draw inspiration from his memories of Valencia, Spain, and the similarities it bears to the City of Angels His tables and cabinets recall the texture of the sun-baked ground, while deft use of mesh and fishing nets and his first-ever fountain evoke an oceanic presence. Founders Loic Le Gaillard and Julien Lombrail enlisted local firm @standardarchitecture, which designed Pace and Maccarone's L.A. outposts, to transform a former West Hollywood warehouse into a pristine environment befitting Carpenters Workshop Gallery's roster of collectible design objects—and the discerning sensibilities of the city's burgeoning collector scene.
