Lamp Show! Save The Date 💡
November 7th | 6135 Wilshire Blvd | Opening 7PM
Joseph and Eli love lamps. So here you go — Lamp Show.
So much so that we’re doing it in a 13,000 sq. ft. office building currently in flux to become another office building called Wilshire Online @wilshireonline
We’re coming up on one full year of being the “eccentrically named Los Angeles gallery AUTOBODY autobody” (thanks, @hyperallergic )
To close out 2025, we’re taking up empty, idle space with an exhibition of light.
See you there. It’s going to be a doozy.

“Folded and drooping, it gestures to the ground in a final act of reaching. Time seems paused here, holding a breath between collapse and endurance.”

“This object is the convergence of the upright and rigid dinning chair, with the loose and laidback lounge chair.
I am interested in creating forms in which various identities and extremes coexist: dense and spare, industrial and handmade, rigid and relaxed, systematic and random.”
—Joseph Dieppa
If there’s one person who makes working with metal look effortless, it’s Joseph Dieppa. He doesn’t overthink it—he just works. There’s a kind of stubborn curiosity in the way he approaches steel, like he’s asking, “What else can this stuff do?” His chairs aren’t about comfort in the traditional sense; they force you into certain positions and make you feel the material beneath you. Dieppa knows that metal isn’t soft or forgiving, but in his hands, it becomes something more: a conversation, a challenge, an argument. It’s a chair, sure—but it’s also an invitation to experience something unexpected.
