Luxury furniture and textiles vendor J. Robert Scott has extended the lease on its manufacturing facility in Inglewood, Calif., for more than six years.
The company occupies more than 76,000 square feet of industrial space in the Airport Business Park located at 500 North Oak Street, where all facets of furniture production take place. The facility serves as corporate headquarters for research and design as well.
"The proximity of the design team to production and manufacturing gives us the opportunity to follow products day to day, from prototype through to finished piece, and to observe the birth of new designs as they materialize in the hands of our talented artisans" said Chief Operating Officer Richard I. Chilcott. "As a small organization, this instant access is very supportive of open communication between all divisions."
In this location, the company currently employs 125 seasoned craftspeople in various disciplines, including designers, customer service, and office staff. Many of J. Robert Scotts employees have been with the company for decades.
J. Robert Scott Inc. was founded in 1972 in Los Angeles by Hall of Fame designer Sally Sirkin Lewis. The company was born out of Ms. Lewis desire to provide her clients with contemporary, well made furnishings that met her uncompromising standards of quality and beauty. Lewis serves as president of the company, which has company owned showrooms in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Dallas, and London, and representation in 21 cities in 14 countries.
