A modern art & design auction house located in the Arts District of Downtown Los Angeles.

BILLINGS events and live in-house auctions are held at our brick-and-mortar space, located at 2124 Sacramento Street in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles’ Arts District. Created to provide an accessible platform for the acquisition of quality modern design, furniture, art, decorative objects and accessories, BILLINGS was initiated to fill a void in Los Angeles’ design market through a decided absence of curated channels for the acquisition of exceptional historical and contemporary items.

The Waka Waka for BILLINGS ‘Strength Stool’ launches on FRIDAY as part of our LA Design Weekend event!

The stool will feature in a larger Waka Waka installation within BILLINGS, curated of course by Shin Okuda. Surrounding the installation, a preview of our LADW auction.

“This edition of stools explores the cylinder as a soft element in Waka Waka’s vocabulary. They are the betweeness here and designated as the seating location, framed by the deco-pointing plywood arches. The volumes are purposely amplified and texturally exaggerated to read as comfortable, inviting, strong and supportive.” - Waka Waka

We look forward to welcoming you on Friday, October 2, from 5-9pm!

IN FOCUS: Pieces from Gio Ponti, J. Anthony Redmile and Pierre Guariche, as part of BILLINGS Fall Modern Design, September 19, 2026.

Gio Ponti was an Italian architect, industrial designer, furniture designer, artist, teacher, writer and publisher.

During his career, which spanned six decades, Ponti built more than a hundred buildings in Italy and in the rest of the world. He designed a considerable number of decorative art and design objects as well as furniture. Thanks to the magazine ‘Domus’, which he founded in 1928 and directed almost all his life, and thanks to his active participation in exhibitions such as the Milan Triennial, he was also an enthusiastic advocate of an Italian-style art of living and a major player in the renewal of Italian design after the Second World War.

From 1936 to 1961, he taught at the Milan Polytechnic School and trained several generations of designers. Ponti also contributed to the creation in 1954 of one of the most important design awards: the Compasso d’Oro, and was himself awarded the prize in 1956. Ponti died in 1979 leaving one of the grandest legacies in modern design.

Born in England in 1940, J. Anthony Redmile emerged as a singular force in British design, shaped by an innate affinity for extravagance rather than formal pedagogy. Largely self-taught, he bypassed traditional academies, cultivating his vision through hands-on experimentation in his native environment. His early immersion in post-war Britain’s evolving cultural landscape honed a penchant for opulent craftsmanship, setting the stage for a career centered in London, where theatricality supplanted convention from the outset.

Redmile’s aesthetic revels in theatrical opulence, blending natural elements like agate, horn, shells, and silver into tactile, narrative-driven forms. Recurring motifs evoke modern cabinets of curiosities, prioritizing mischievous humor and ornate excess over restraint. Iconic examples include the ostrich egg mounted in malachite and silver, and horn-framed mirror
