Meet the Partners
Lorca Cohen & Greg Wooten
Lorca Cohen and Greg Wooten, owners of The Window gallery, first met at the Palm Springs Modernism show in 2006. They developed a friendship based on a shared aesthetic and mutual passion for discovering beautiful objects. After many successful shopping ventures both in the states and abroad, and with a mutual desire for change, they decided to create a new business together. The result is their esoteric and eclectic design space in Los Angeles.
Housed in a spectacular 1930’s industrial art deco storefront that once served as a Ford Model-A showroom, The Window has become a popular resource for high-end interior designers and sophisticated retail customers.
Rich Carmichael
Rich Carmichael has been a modern art and design gallery owner and dealer of mid-century furniture and design in Los Angeles for over 20 years. He co-owned and managed From the Hip, a small vintage furniture shop in the heart of Silver Lake, CA, for over a decade. From the Hip was recognized by The New York Times as one of three “Dealers' Choice: Antiques Shops” to visit in the area.
Rich has been the managing partner of BILLINGS since its launch in the Fall of 2015.
Joshua Kritzer
Joshua Kritzer, the founder of Los Angeles' Rewire Gallery, has been a creative force in the lighting design industry for over twenty years. In addition to custom lighting design, Rewire Gallery offers an extensive collection of modern twentieth century lighting.
