L.A. Factor Presents: Design in Motion with NONI Design House and Base Collaborative

Saturday, August 23, 1:00PM

L.A. Factor is an event series presented by the L.A. Forum for Architecture and Urban Design, spotlighting Los Angeles as a dynamic site of production—across architecture, design, materiality, culture, and food. Each edition will explore the creative heartbeat of the city through hands-on experiences, dialogue, and experimentation.

Join us for our inaugural event, an engaging and hands-on architectural design experience that explores the creative and technical aspects of object design and fabrication. This event is brought to you by NONI Design House, an architecture and interior design studio, and Base Collaborative, a fabrication studio.

This session will feature an exercise where attendees will explore methods of patinating and assemble their own vessel to take home. Participants will have the opportunity to experiment with various finishes, textures, and techniques to understand how surface treatments can enhance both the aesthetic and functional qualities of architectural elements. This interactive experience encourages exploration, creativity, and dialogue around materiality in contemporary design.

We recommend closed-toe shoes and clothing suited to a working studio — where safety meets style!

NONI Design House - a Los Angeles based architecture and design studio led by two women, Nicole Stubblefield and Norella Carboni Amiel. With an insatiable drive to explore, curate, elevate, and shape our environment, they engage in all aspects of design from hands-on explorations to fabrication to in-field ideation and beyond

Base Collaborative is a fabrication studio rooted in curiosity and craft. Founded by husband-and-wife team Kasey Amiel and Norella Carboni Amiel, their work draws from architecture, interiors, woodworking, and steel fabrication. From their Los Angeles studio, they move fluidly from concept to fabrication, embracing process, collaboration, and the quiet intelligence of materials.
