The Inheritance Collection

The Inheritance Collection
Born and raised in Canada, artist and designer Stephen Kenn moved to Los Angeles in 2006 to pursue his passion for design. After working in denim and bag design, he turned his eye to the world of furniture.
Inspired by the simple design aesthetic of the mid-century era and the stories inherent in vintage WWII military fabrics, he created The Inheritance Collection. The collection is designed and produced entirely in Los Angeles and Stephen is present for every step of the production process, from first sketch to completed piece.
Stephen loves to use sustainable materials, practicing responsible manufacturing and revealing the process of product creation to his customers.
Each piece begins as a welded steel frame that has been rusted and then finished with a polyurethane clear coat. Custom made webbing and leather belts are then woven together to create the support structure for the cushions. The belts are an exact replica of a 1940’s-era Swiss militaryissue mule belt, which was used to strap supplies to pack mules.
Sitting atop these interwoven straps are the comfortable down-alternative pillows covered in repurposed vintage American military halfshelters that have been washed and softened. These components come together to express the design philosophy of Stephen Kenn:
Good design should embody the simplest, most functional form and the materials used should tell stories from the past and wear well into the future.
