Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) June 18, 2014 -- Kristi Nelson joins top architects, designers, and artists invited to interpret the essence of California beach communities through their creative lenses for this year’s sun n’ surf-themed “groundswell” concept. The 2014 event will feature original art and furnishings, custom surfboards, boogie boards, and skateboards created expressly for the A+D fundraiser.

Our particular coastline, which surfers love so much, inspired me to stretch this year's theme and design a furniture piece referencing things we take for granted--such as the kelp beds--which are so vital.

Post this

Drawing inspiration from surfers and the natural environment they inhabit, Kristi Nelson envisaged a lush forest of kelp wafting through pacific blue waters for her firm’s donated design piece. Entitled “California Kelp Forest End Table,” KMNelson Design’s auction item is not only a functional representation of the beauty of the sea, it is also intended to bring awareness of the declining ecosystems of the once rich and diverse kelp forests along the Southern California coastline.

“Our particular coastline, which surfers love so much, it's beauty and the unique world within it - particularly the kelp beds - inspired me to stretch the theme and design a furniture piece meant to reference those things we take for granted but are so vital,” says Kristi Nelson, managing partner of KMNelson Design, LLC.

KMNelson Design’s creation is an interplay of faux sea glass and iron fashioned into a decorative end table. The table depicts the dance and symbiotic relationship of kelp and seawater, and represents the most vital piece of a surfer’s equipment—the ocean itself. One might expect to find this sinuous table in an Italian villa on the Amalfi coast, or in Antonio Gaudi’s Casa Batlló in Barcelona. However, KMNelson Design’s imaginative creation will most likely grace the SoCal home of the highest bidder at the gala.

CELEBRATE is the Architecture and Design (A+D) Museum’s annual fundraiser, which is attended by a who’s-who of the architecture and design worlds each year. This year’s festivities will include DJ Raul Campos of KCRW, open bar sponsored by Tito’s Vodka and Asahi Beer, and Southern California cuisine, as well as the return of last year’s emcee, actor Boise Thomas, and a special appearance by Madison Hildebrand, Luxury Realtor on Bravo TV’s “Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles”. The centerpiece of the evening will be the legendary runway presentation of silent auction pieces fabricated by the designers. All donated pieces (modeled and displayed) for the fundraiser will be auctioned that evening, with 100% of the proceeds benefiting the Museum.
