FROM Matthew Sullivan
Design and Architecture
Matthew Sullivan Matthew Sullivan is an artist and furniture designer based in LA and he has his own firm, Al Que Quiere – loosely translated from the Latin, "for he who wants it." Maura Lucking talks with Sullivan and Frances Anderton about his brightly colored, toy-like work and how it fits into a broader design revival, in which young designers are looking for a new form of expression that doesn't take itself as seriously as the high-minded work inspired by LA's mid-century Modern.
