Lenny Steinberg invites us to her Los Angeles home: watch the film at Directed and produced by Cory Jacobs and Jason Schmidt at Cottage 8 Films.
Out of the windows of Lenny Steinberg’s Venice Beach living room, there are a few hundred metres of sand, a line of white surf, then the grey-blue expanse of the Pacific Ocean. It’s a remarkable, pinch-me view, the kind most folks only see from the nearby boardwalk at Muscle Beach, where tourists and roller skaters glide through a perfume of cannabis dispensaries and fish taco stands.
A native Angeleno who grew up in North Hollywood, she spent her childhood among soundstages and backlots. Her father was a cameraman for Universal Pictures, her mother the secretary for studio head Carl Laemmle. There’s a bit of Tinseltown magic in her furniture, in the way it combines art deco and Japanese references with the chrome and polish of LA car culture. She remembers riding in her father’s 1938 Buick, a tank-like sedan made elegant by Streamline Moderne styling and a shiny grill.
‘My background in music is in all my work,’ she says, pointing across her double-height living room, past the grand piano, to where she put in a cross beam in place of an exterior wall. Light pours in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, inspired by Pierre Chareau’s Maison de Verre. But unlike the designs of the French modernist architect, which were precisely orthogonal, Steinberg’s beam cuts through the room at an angle, setting the mezzanine off kilter.
Works from her broad oeuvre cluster together in her home. A Vivid mirrored side table reflects the irregular pattern of the slate floor. The piece owes as much to art deco as it does to the minimalist Light and Space movement. There’s clearly the vibe of the Venice scene and the artists who had their studios in what was then a shabby bunch of warehouses by the beach, such as Billy Al Bengston and Larry Bell, who are both old friends.
Steinberg’s house, on Ocean Front Walk, is a few doors’ down from Frank Gehry’s Norton House, designed in 1984 to echo the local lifeguard towers
