On a recent working trip to Los Angeles, I had such fun shopping Pacific Design Center (or the Big Blue Whale as we like to refer to it). This time I discovered a new resource, Micucci Collection. It might have been the beautiful glass and Italian silver that beckoned from outside the shop, but it was the warmth of Fabio Micucci himself that made the experience memorable.

With a hot cup of espresso in my hand I walked the showroom; marveling at the artisanship on display.

It’s Fabio keen eye that determines which items make the grade and find themselves on the shelves of Micucchi. He delights in sharing stories of the families and craftsman behind his merchandise. I might have spent hours with Fabio…but there was work to be done.

If you’re in LA, it’s worth the effort to stop into Micucchi Collection. You’ll experience the joy of spending time with stunning pieces of art and have the double pleasure of being treated as a fine art patron. And did I mention the plate of chocolates?
