“I try to synthesize all design culture,” Michael Boyd told the LA Times in 2015, “not just the history of design and architecture, but also movies and fashion, and not just Vienna and Paris and Amsterdam as touchstones—but also looking at Japan and Brazil, as well as here in the land of Eames and [Craig] Ellwood.” As a landscape, furniture, and architectural designer, Boyd has covered vast territory in the world of design—from restoring the Oscar Niemeyer Strick House in Santa Monica to being recognized internationally as an important collector of 20th century Modernist design. PLANEfurniture comprises Boyd's line of architectural furnishings, created with a philosophy that “form should inspire; and these forms should function effortlessly.” PLANEfurniture designs are held in the permanent collections of SFMOMA, The Palm Springs Museum, and the University of California, Santa Barbara.
