Brothers Dion and Arin Der have hit refresh on PINKYS, the L.A. - based windows and doors company founded by their father in 1978. Based in the up-and-coming arts district of Vernon. PINKYS boasts the largest inventory of iron doors and steel windows in the U.S., plus a clientele that included Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent- with the latter designing the firm’s forthcoming showroom. “We champion the creative lifestyle of Los Angeles to make high0 grade architectural elements which break down walls and create infinite opportunities.” Says Dion. Dutch doors, pivot doors, barn doors, sliding doors, French doors- you name it- and myriad windows and locks: Each design allows for expansive glazing with minimalist frames that maximize that good West Coast mojo.
Infused with their signature light and bright coastal aesthetic, designers Aly Morford and Leigh Lincoln of Pure Salt Interiors have opened the doors of their new flagship in Newport Beach. A 5,000-square-foot space, it’s layered with vignettes devoted to living, dining, bedrooms and nureries, as well as an apothecary space focused on plants and wellness sites. The designers have also integrated their interiors studio, which has grown exponentially since they founded in 2016. Also new is their partnership with Tirzah International, an L.A- based organization focused on leadership training and small business investment for women around the world. Pure Salt is collaborating with women run artisan businesses in Kenya and Tanzania to create pieces sold via their website, opening these makers to a bigger audience. What began last year as a small ceramics collection now includes textiles and accessories, with Morford and Lincoln traveling to Africa this July to collaborate in person with their partners.
