Los Angeles is the land of the endless summer. A handful of rainy days may scatter the SoCal calendar, but outside of that nominal precipitation Angelinos live in perpetual sunshine and summerlike temps year-round. When it comes to design and architecture, it’s no surprise that L.A.’s attributed with coining the term “indoor-outdoor living.” Whether the idea is to bring nature inside or to empathetically open up the home to the outside, designers in Los Angeles have pioneered the green movement from the very beginning. Grant Kirkpatrick, principal of KAA, is one such architect seminal to the movement for sustainable, green design. A leader in the design industry since 1988, Grant founded KAA as an integrated design firm inspired by the belief that “design has the power to elevate the human spirit.” Now making a foray into furniture design, Grant is bringing to furniture the same passion that has motivated his successful architectural career.

Recently launching HOM, a collaborative line with L.A. based Cisco Brothers, a full collection of furnishings was unveiled at the Cisco Home showroom on La Brea last week. The collection features warm, modern design and functional amenities that are designed to be used indoors and outdoors, together and in combination with like-minded products. The vibe: simple, purposeful and ecological. The line provides a high degree of design with comfortable, quality products for a flexible and relaxed lifestyle. HOM is about living outdoors and in, with a close connection to nature. The idea is to live a healthier, happier lifestyle with a smaller ecological footprint and with respect to our planet.

As we spring forward into the forthcoming summer months, this may be the perfect time to consider the HOM collection as a chic way for living the green life. With this dual approach to designing the line, the HOM collection offers the quintessential indoor-outdoor, SoCal lifestyle while still being environmentally aware and proactive.
