YEAH! rentals

Sarah J Davis you know how to take an amazing photo thank you

We just got back from Coachella and couldn’t stop noticing how bad most poolside setups feel. Not because people don’t care, but because most of us are working with what we have. A few chairs, maybe a couple loungers. Enough for daily life, not enough to create a moment. Los Resort restores pieces from Brown Jordan, Tropitone, and other iconic outdoor makers from a time when leisure actually meant something. You can feel it in the design. These pieces have already lived a life, and somehow still carry that energy. Bringing them into Yeah! Rentals isn’t just about furniture. It’s about giving people access to a feeling they don’t normally have at home. And here’s where it shifts. We can rework everything. Strap colors, powder coat, full palette control. We’ve already been doing this for clients, but now it lives inside pieces that actually matter. If the whole event is pink, the furniture is pink. If the world is green, it all lines up. Custom usually feels expensive. This takes the edge off. Same pool. Same people. Completely different experience.

Exciting news! Furniture in Rotation ♻️ A collection of restored vintage patio pieces by Brown Jordan, Tropitone, and others - stripped back, powder coated, and re-strapped in new vinyl. Now part of the @yeahrentals collection. Ready for their next setting - from photoshoots and house staging to events and outdoor spaces. We love seeing these pieces move through different environments, each time with a new story. #VintagePatio #MidCenturyOutdoor

YEAH! Rentals started back in 2010 in Los Angeles with Michael at the helm. It was part of a bigger orbit we were all building at the time. Yeah Field Trip, YEAH! Weddings, YEAH! Rentals. Different expressions of the same idea. Make things feel alive. Make them feel like something you actually want to be inside of. This one was Michael’s baby. What started as vintage pieces inspired by the Ace Hotel Palm Springs turned into a full rethinking of how event spaces could look and feel. Not precious, not overly styled, not trying too hard. Just right. Which, as it turns out, is one of the hardest things to do. I’ve had a front row seat to the way he built this. The taste, the restraint, the willingness to just make the thing instead of talking about it. It shaped a lot of people, myself included. At some point, after a lot of years and a lot of trucks and a lot of very late nights, the handoff happened. So here we are. We’ve moved locations. Still in Los Angeles. Still very much in it. Now working out of the Heirloom LA building, which, among other things, means the snacks have quietly improved. I’m honored to carry this forward. It’s a rare thing to inherit something that already has a soul. The goal now is to protect that and also see how far it can go. We’re looking for people who want to be a part of it. Collaborators, partners, investors, or just people with good ideas and a reason to make something. There’s a really beautiful foundation here, and I’d like to build more on top of it. Same spirit. New chapter. More soon.

Something curious has been happening over here… A few walls quietly moved. A few new characters showed up. Some old favorites suddenly have a lot more breathing room. And somewhere in the middle of it all, a whole new way of peeking inside appeared… though we haven’t exactly said the words out loud yet. Let’s just say the playground got bigger, the toy box got heavier, and there may or may not be a new front door. Care to guess what’s going on? If you correctly guess all three things I’m hinting at… you might win something… or at the very least eternal bragging rights… 👀

The Other Art Fair Los Angeles Yeah! Rentals will be there, which means that after you’ve politely nodded at seventeen large abstract paintings and one sculpture that looks like it survived a small electrical fire, you can collapse onto an actually beautiful couch and reconsider your entire life. Not a folding chair. Not a tragic cube. A real couch. The kind that suggests you have taste and possibly opinions about Scandinavian design. And here’s the twist: once you sit down, you are no longer just a tired person clutching a tote bag and a lukewarm canned cocktail. You are now part of the installation. Congratulations. You came to look at art and accidentally became it. There’s something happening in Los Angeles this weekend that feels less like an art fair and more like a living, breathing creative ecosystem. The Other Art Fair isn’t about whispering through white walls pretending to understand everything. It’s about stepping directly into the creative scene — meeting artists face to face, wandering into interactive installations, bumping into experimental elements and performance moments that feel slightly unhinged in the best way. It’s curious. It’s alive. And in a time when so much of our experience is filtered through screens, this is your gentle shove out the front door. Go wander. Go get surprised. Go sit on a very good couch and become part of the story. Now if you’ve read this whole thing, we’ve got a free ticket for you. But you’ve got to slide into our DMs and tell us what day you want to go. We only have a few, so be serious about this.

Before There Is Change, There Is a Seat Every revolution, every board meeting in a borrowed space, every debate that actually shifts something begins the same way. Someone sits down. History remembers the speech. The dramatic exit. The quote that ends up framed in a hallway. It rarely mentions who arranged the seating, which is funny, because one bad placement and suddenly two sworn enemies are sharing armrests. People sit down because they’re willing to stay. Staying is where the uncomfortable sentences live. When we say, “If you have the meeting, we have the chairs,” it sounds simple. Like something printed on a tote bag. But these aren’t folding chairs with a slight emotional wobble. These are high-end, intentional, beautifully designed pieces that make you feel like you should probably organize your thoughts before speaking. Furniture has a personality. A cheap chair says let’s get this over with. A good chair says this might matter. It’s hard to launch a startup in an empty warehouse, host a town hall in a field, or stage a debate in a space that didn’t exist yesterday without something solid for people to sit in. Stability helps. It’s difficult to reconsider your worldview while bracing your core muscles. Before there’s a headline or someone storms out or anything officially changes, someone has to claim a room, arrange it, decide where people will face each other, and trust that they’re willing to stay once they sit down. All we do is make sure that part doesn’t feel accidental. If you have the meeting, we have the chairs. And if you’re brave enough to host the conversation, we’ll make sure the furniture doesn’t embarrass you.

We run a 10,000 square foot furniture warehouse in Los Angeles. The catalog moves through festivals, brand activations, and cultural moments like Coachella, which may or may not still be cultural but is definitely a place where things get tested. The catalog doesn’t stay still. Pieces come in. Pieces go out. Some get sold. Some get rebuilt. Some disappear because they’ve done enough. The fun part isn’t the inventory. It’s the search. Finding pieces that work hard, feel right, and haven’t already been everywhere. If you look at the site, you might not immediately know what something is. Vintage. Designer. Flea market. Something we built because nothing else worked. Usually more than one of those is true. We don’t label it loudly because it doesn’t matter. If it fits without explanation, it fits. We don’t buy the flimsy, shiny, looks-good-online furniture. If it feels disposable, it usually is. We’d rather have fewer pieces that survive real use than a warehouse full of things that look tired halfway through a weekend. A lot of what we know comes from the field. Long days. Early mornings. Dust everywhere. Watching furniture get used nonstop, then packed up and disappear again. If a piece survives a festival weekend and still looks good at sunset, it earns its place. Closer to the event, creativity gives way to logistics. Delivery. Load-in. Install. When that part is done right, it feels almost boring. Things arrive when they should. Adjustments happen quietly. The space comes together without drama. That calm isn’t an accident. It comes from starting early and letting decisions settle. At the end of the day, this isn’t really about furniture. It’s about paying attention. Ok bye

Quick note before you read this. I posted this yesterday thinking “Coachella is back, I’ll tag a bunch of people, this will definitely do something.” Turns out it mostly just looks like I’m talking directly to about 20 people while hundreds quietly scroll past. That’s on me. Leaving it up anyway because it’s still true and honestly the lack of traction is kind of funny. It’s that time again. Coachella …. means the desert is about to fill up with houses that are definitely temporary and somehow extremely serious about their furniture choices. Last year we ran out of furniture. That is not a joke. So this year we made sure that does not happen again. When we say new furniture we mean new pieces of really good vintage. Not antique mall energy. Not dusty. Not precious. Just solid well designed pieces that look good and can handle being used. And of course all the cool chairs we provide for the stage and side stages which at this point we feel like we should auction off based on how coveted they’ve become but yes we will have those back too. We are set up for festival houses backstage areas and VIP spaces. Chairs you can actually sit in. Tables that survive laptops coffee and long conversations about how tired everyone is. This time of year is about logistics. Tight timelines weird load ins strange locations and things that do not want to fit into elevators or doorways. That is our lane. We move big heavy awkward fragile things all the time and somehow make it look easy. We also still have a few vintage Photo Booths. They are large heavy slightly ridiculous and require real trucks and real planning. We move them because we can and because someone always realizes they need one at the last minute. If you are doing something calm great. If you are doing something unhinged also great. Festival season fills up fast.

Los Angeles friends, artists, curators, producers, and people who make temporary magic… Hi, I’m Joe McKee. I’m one of the people behind Solid Art Services and YEAH! Rentals. There are a lot of art fairs, pop-ups, shows, and temporary exhibitions coming up across Los Angeles soon. Some of you we’re already working with. Some of you we’ve worked with before. And some of you we haven’t met yet… but we probably have mutual friends. The reason these two companies exist, and why they work so closely together, is pretty simple. Art deserves to be handled with care, and the environment around it should feel just as intentional. At Solid, we take care of the artwork itself. How it arrives. How it’s installed. How it’s protected. At YEAH!, we take care of the space people experience the work in. Furniture, layout, pacing, places to sit, gather, pause, and actually spend time with the art. If you’re producing an art show, participating in @friezeofficial or @Felixartfair (or any other art fairs around that time), or creating an event… we’re here. If we’re already working together, thank you. If we haven’t yet, hello. I’d love to connect. Joe If this is for you, DM us. If this is for a friend, send it to them. If you prefer email, phone calls, smoke signals, or carrier pigeons, we’re flexible. And if none of this applies to you, thanks for reading anyway. The internet is a strange place, and it helps when we pass notes to each other.

So we all got together in Los Angeles and made this little video About 2026 predictions Which immediately turned into a debate about everything else AI Speed Taste Sameness Egos Silence No conclusions were reached Which felt strangely honest Because what’s actually happening Is harder to summarize than a trend It’s a low hum in the background A sense that things are moving faster While meaning is moving sideways This isn’t an answer It’s the sound of people thinking out loud Together Video by @bobdeplume & @whitneykentchamberlin

Last night I was going to post this, but instead I was on the freeway watching fireworks go off over Los Angeles while everyone else was doing a very serious countdown at midnight. So here it is today. This is now less a countdown to a new year and more a countdown to what the hell are we actually doing this year. Over the last two weeks we talked with people working in the event industry, listened to how things feel right now, and what they want to see next. We did some research. We’re into this direction. Consider this a countdown to your to-do list. Or to laying in bed thinking about how many times each chair was moved to make this happen, and then quietly daydreaming about how this was built. Either way, here you go.
