Favorite material: “Wood will always be my first love.” Shown here is the interior of Osteria La Buca, the Los Angeles restaurant that Ravenhill renovated over 8 days in April, paneled mostly in reclaimed barn wood and furnished with his custom-made steel and walnut La Buca chairs. The restaurant's owner contacted Ravenhill after seeing his bottle opener for Areaware written up in The New York Times; continuing the chain reaction, Ravenhill was recently commissioned to create new versions of both the stools above and the La Buca chairs for a new outpost of an Italian restaurant in New York.
