Dan Marty Designs

By Erin Ferucci
Celebrity Lifestyle Designer

For years Dan Marty had a smart little retail shop in Brentwood that catered to the public. Now he has made the smart leap to Wholesale and has opened his business to the trade, nationwide.
For a year now his well designed showroom in the Pacific Design Center has featured his self described “European Colonial meets California laid back ease” sensibility.The key word here is layering; I especially appreciate the imported antique French linens for sale and applied on pillows and sofas.The navy themes..the red collections, the layering… is so warm and cozy..so welcoming… nothing intimidating here.!!!! This look is easy for anyone to accomplish..it feels very "family" to me...warm and inviting. The space is superbly defined with black sisal flooring and black walls, it’s a great effect. Very courageous, but it works. The staff is also wonderful and very helpful with no attitude problems, you have to love that!

Moura Starr & the Brazilian Wood Revolution

by Erin Ferucci
Celebrity Lifestyle Designer


This is the most superior craftsmanship I have seen on the market today. The design is modern organic. The medium is exotic non-extinct woods from Brazil.

These pieces can be described in three words: custom, custom, custom! Handmade in Brazil out of wood that cannot be found anywhere else in the world Moura Starr adds Brazilian stone, colored glass and colored crystal to make unique high end contemporary furniture that surpasses Italian contemporary workmanship and design.



Take a look at this wonderful Curio Cabinet made from black lacquer, black crystal and rustic Imuia wood. Isn’t this the ultimate media cabinet? It is unique; designed and made with impeccable taste.

With their Pacific Design Center grand opening scheduled for sometime before the first of the year, it is just a matter of weeks before this unique and wonderful company will be on everyone’s tongue. For shoppers living outside the scope of Los Angeles or New York, Moura Starr will ship anywhere in the world. They recently opened their first showroom in Dubai available for designers and the public to shop. Please browse their online site for more unique and spectacular pieces.
