De Padova and Time & Style have both made big names for themselves in the furniture world — each holding true to its own particular brand of style and aesthetics.

17 pieces make up the new collection, with pieces running the gamut of standard home furnishings.

Will Arnett lists award-winning home for $11 million

Kimberly A. Parker 6 days ago

There’s always money in the banana stand, to borrow from the show “Arrested Development.” But it might take a few more frozen banana sales to afford the Beverly Hills Post Office-area home of Will Arnett, who plays Gob Bluth on the show.

Listed for $10.995 million, the actor’s steel-framed house is a reimagining of a design by the late modernist architect Ray Kappe known as the RK2 model.

The L-shaped residence consists of six modules that were designed and built off-site by Succi Reddy in collaboration with LivingHomes, the design subsidiary of Rialto-based builder Plant Prefab. Completed in 2017, the project received an “Award of Excellence” the following year from the L.A. Business Council.

Clean lines, an open-concept layout and walls of glass reinforce the modernist architecture. Overhanging eaves — a Kappe trademark — provide protection from the sun while diffusing natural light indoors.

These experts work with a team to create new palettes for the body of the house, trim, and doors, and to give the colors memorable or evocative names. 

This year, darker shades are in. “Dark grays or blacks have been trending, and dark slate blues are seen more often as well,” says Erika Woelfel, vice president of color
