About FILMORE CLARK:
Following the tradition of artisan tile studios, Filmore Clark will offer the best in American art tile. Founder, Lee Nicholson has been in the tile business for over 15 years of which 13 of those were spent at Country Floors Inc. Working in such a rich environment she began her love affair with handcrafted tiles and over the years had the realization that the American art tile maker is one of the best in world. This drove her to open her own showroom offering renowned collections such as Pratt Larson, Tempest Tileworks, Tile Guild and KJ Patterson. Filmore Clark hopes to bring a new life to the custom tile selection process. Keeping it local will be the main focus of the business. By showcasing only domestically manufactured collections Filmore Clark will take to heart the true meaning of a smaller footprint and being green.

REMINDER: DNG EVENT at Fifth floor THIS THURSDAY Feb 25th at 7pm!

SAVE THE DATE our next Designer Networking Event will be held at FIFTH FLOOR on Thursday, February 25th from 7-9:30pm.

FIFTH FLOOR is located 502 Chung King Court Los Angeles, CA 90012 (Cross street Hill St.) PH 213 687 8443.

Opened in January of 2008, Fifth Floor is a hybrid art/design gallery in the heart of LA’s Chinatown. Owner, Robert Apodaca’s background in architecture sees that the space delights in a mixture of contemporary art and design. Work by varying artists, designers, and architects rotate through the exhibition areas every month to two months; all the while, a steady base of unique accessories, jewelry, furniture and design objects remain on display. Many of these hand-made objects and furniture pieces are available nowhere else besides Fifth Floor.

Fifth Floor´s gallery shows a wide range of work from painting and mixed media to furniture and even architectural exhibits. We are interested in exploring the realms of both art and design and their multiple intersections. Often leaning heavily on tectonic and/or spatial notions we think that concept and craft should not be mutually exclusive terms. While not every exhibition is conceptually driven, these often do explore socially relevant topics such as sustainable design and community issues.

Robert Apodaca is a designer whose style focuses on simplicity of form, economy of materials and an elegant approach to problem solving. Currently living and working in Los Angeles, CA, Robert graduated from Otis College of Art and Design’s Architecture/Landscape/Interiors program in 2003. He spent several years working with various architecture and design firms, exploring what the design world had to offer. Greatly inspired by the creative possibilities that lay within the intersections of art, design, and architecture, he has taken those ideas into the heart of a number of exciting projects including Fifth Floor.

Street parking and lot parking available.
