The American Cement Building Los Angeles. It has been converted into loft apartments and work space. I could just imagine what it would be like to live there, to have shadows of big X’s cast across your living room floor. Amazing.

Vessel USA Inc. has recently introduced Malcolm Leland’s X00 (zoo) industrial design bookends. This new design was inspired by Los Angeles’ famous historical American Cement Building on Wilshire Blvd. In 1961 Malcolm was commissioned by the architect to produce a sculptural façade made of reinforced concrete which had never been done before at that time.
