"The Best L.A. Asian Furniture 2003"
by Los Angeles Magazine
For over ten years, Out of Asia, one of the largest asian importers in the west coast, has been committed to providing high quality antique and contemporary furniture items, accessories, design accents and linens. It has made a wide range of product collections emphasizing cultural diversities, uniqueness, and excellence through reinterpretation of classic forms and styles influenced by early colonial days and ethnographic life of its region. The contemporary designed pieces originate from the Philippines, Indonesia, China, Thailand, and Vietnam. The antique collections are from fine and provincial Chinese, Korean and Japanese furnishings to Spanish, Dutch, French and British colonial pieces.
Many of the furniture items seen here like sofas and chairs are made from indigenous materials such as bamboo and rattan, while some are from aluminum and copper. Accessories and design accents such as plates, bowls, and jewelry boxes are from shells, bones, wild vines, riverstones, and shagreens. Fabric collections are mainly from leather, hemp and silk. These collections are displayed in a spacious 35,000 square foot showroom located in Los Angeles, California.
Perfection is the key in making the product a success, so craftsmen with extraordinary skills and lifetime experience who are natives of the region are hired. Edna Luer, the president of the company, personally designs most of the pieces. She ensures excellent finish and proper production by traveling through different regions of the country where the pieces are made. This enables her to give them accurate and precise directions.

Out of Asia is known for providing the right material to fit nearly any setting which needs oriental decorations. The end-product can also be customized to incorporate the ideas of the company’s clients.
