The Teen Project

I am very excited to announce I will be working on the new Teen Project located in Venice. The owner Lauri Burns (who is such an amazing woman and her story is incredible- check out the website for her journey in life) is venturing onto her second Teen Project.

I spoke to Lauri Friday and by Saturday (yesterday) I saw the space and was on the project. The facility will be a drop in center for teens to find a meal, get some shelter for a few hours, meet with a therapist or find a place to sleep for the night. There are no bedrooms or sleep areas in the space. Only lounge areas, a kitchen, computer stations, reception, and therapy room. Modern office equipment is needed.

The space is incredible and its one empty BOX right now. We have a crazy fast turn around time of one month, but since the space is not that big I know we can do this power through and make it happen.

We are looking for donations of MODERN furniture pieces: Colorful pieces are fine and mid century like Eames, Bruer Sarrinen Danish are great too! *just please email me pictures of the pieces and measurements.

Pieces we need:
Lounge Chairs
Reception chairs
Desk Chairs
HUGE modern sectional
Modern desks (steel or wood)
Lamps (floor and table)
Large modern art pieces
Large modern cabinets (Vintage Steel Casey or Knoll)
File cabinets

Knoll, Sunbrella or super durable fabric

FEB 7th, 2012 is our move in date so please email me at turquoise.la@gmail.com immediately with pictures or if you want to donate your time with our install on that weekend. Respond by putting "volunteer" in the subject line.

Thank you for your time and please feel free to post this on your blog, tweet or Facebook the info.
