Robert Scott Celebrates 40th Anniversary"},"content":{"rendered":"

J. Robert Scott, the international furniture and textile manufacturer, is celebrating forty years of business. The luxe line was founded in 1972 by designer Sally Sirkin Lewis.<\/p>\n

Lewis began her career as an interior designer in the 1970s, but became frustrated when she was unable to find pieces with the style and quality she wanted. Lewis enlisted a small group of craftsmen to realize her own designs, and before long was \u00a0the first woman to open a showroom on Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood. Lewis\u2019 designs were a departure from the mass marketed goods of the 70s; she pioneered a fresh approach which came to be known as \u201cCalifornia Design\u201d. Pale tones and textures feature in a minimalist fashion, with a keen awareness of design\u2019s relationship to existing architecture. Lewis also translated her appreciation of couture into her upholstery designs, featuring silks, chenilles, fine wools, and rich textural weaves.<\/p>\n

With their commitment to luxury and high quality, J. Robert Scott has a longevity in the design world which will set them apart for years to come. Three of the company’s most iconic pieces are featured in our exclusive gallery below.<\/p>\n
