Why Thomas Lavin Is Southern California’s Leading Source for International Design

The Thomas Lavin showroom has been a Southern California trendsetter since its founding in 2000. A Los Angeles native, Lavin was the first to carry designs by Fuse Lighting, Gary Hutton, and Jiun-Ho—and he has since gone on to become a leader in bringing an international range of exclusive high-end home furnishings, textiles, lighting, accessories and art to the region. Over the years, the Pacific Design Center showroom has grown to 19,000 square feet, which also encompasses a stand-alone showroom for French heritage brand LIAIGRE. To better serve his clientele in Orange County, San Diego, and the desert communities, Lavin opened a showroom at the Laguna Design Center in 2014.
