Mid-Century Modern Lovers: Knoll Opens a Retail Store in Los Angeles

If you love mid-century modern design, you’ll want to take a field trip to the new Knoll store in Los Angeles for a little inspiration. In conjunction with the company’s 80th anniversary, the new Knoll Home Design Shop Los Angeles will let you get your hands on the company’s latest contemporary furniture. Textiles and tabletop accessories from the world’s leading designers and architects will also be available.

No need to come with a designer — the new shop, which opened Jan. 18, is open to the public. Just a few blocks from the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood, it’s the brand’s second retail location. The flagship midtown New York City location was a big hit.

A chair wall at the Knoll Home Design Shop Los Angeles features a collection of its most iconic pieces, ready to take home.

Be prepared to feel like you’ve just entered the coolest 1950s and 1960s spaces ever. Room settings are styled perfectly in warm, retro colors and signature Knoll textiles. New collections and introductions from Mark Krusin, David Rockwell and David Adjaye flow perfectly with iconic reproductions from Harry Bertoia, Eero Saarinen and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.

The latest Knoll collections mix brilliantly with iconic Knoll designs in the Los Angeles location.

To make its 80th anniversary and the store launch special, Knoll has made select designs available in the U.S. at the Knoll Home Design Shop Los Angeles. These include:

Avio sofa by Piero Lissoni

The modular sofa collection by Lissoni makes it U.S. debut.

Tobia Scarpa’s Bastino lounge collection

The Bastino lounge is inspired by a luxurious Asian daybed.

Grasshopper tables by Piero Lissoni

The sleek Grasshopper table will be available in different finishes, shapes and sizes.

Besides the exclusive introductions, you’ll find textiles, accessories, tabletop items and more outdoor furnishings to fit with LA’s year-round sunny weather.

The 1966 Collection is famous as the first modern outdoor furniture collection and looks as fresh and modern today as it did in the late ’60s.

The Knoll Home Design Store Los Angeles is located at 314 N. Robertson Blvd. in West Hollywood.

Hackers Help: How to attach headboard to ESPEVÄR mattress base?

I’m trying to figure out if a headboard can be attached to an Espevar Mattress Base , and how to accomplish that. I’m looking at a standard metal headboard (because I just prefer the look of curved metal to what IKEA offers) and am not interested in a slat base with just a mattress on top, and a wall mounted headboard is not an option due to renting. Thanks for any help! ~ Amy *** Hi Amy I’ve not seen the ESPEVÄR in person but I believe it is possible to attach a headboard to it. From the website, the ESPEVÄR looks like a regular wooden slatted mattress base under a bed base slipover. As to how to attach it, that will depend on the fittings on the metal headboard. So you will just need to get the right hardware to secure the metal headboard to the wooden frame. And make some small openings on the slipcover to let the fixtures to go through.

Kitchen renovation reveal: Rhombus wall steals the show

It’s been a while since I did a home tour. If you’ve missed the previous reveals, you can catch up with my Master Bathroom remodel and Guest Bathroom reveal . Today, let’s focus on my kitchen renovation. Hands down, this is the most used room in my home. I spend crazy amounts of time in here, even when I’m not cooking. Just off to the side of the kitchen I converted an awkward space into a reading nook . In the mornings, I sit and read or pray and meditate, before it gets too warm. And on the other side, there’s a work-in-progress plant wall / indoor garden which also takes up a lot of my time. So, all in all, lots of traffic in here, and that’s not even counting cooking and eating time. The kitchen is definitely my favourite room, because the transformation is huge and I love how it turned out. Kitchen renovation: The before House 17 when I first got it, actually had 2 kitchens, which is a very common “Asian” home concept. First, the “dry kitchen”, which is where you make simp

IKEA sofa with genius armrest storage

Bet you never knew your sofa armrests were prime storage space. Ok, so the guys at IKEA are the masters of hidden / secret storage everywhere. In fact, one of the things I most loved about the ESKILSTUNA sofa series was the undercover storage on the chaise lounge, but… what? More than 80 liters of storage space wasted on the armrests? NO WAY! I really don’t understand how they didn’t take that opportunity with several different armrest modules. Mobile chargers, cup / can holders, foldable tables, refrigerators… there’s SO MUCH space in there. I can’t stop thinking on different options! For myself, I went for two designs. First, a “full space” design on the (right) side of the chaise lounge. (The cavity fits two foldable chairs). Second, on the left armrest — a flip open section for “mobile charger / remote control storage / etc.”. Below that, a full-depth pull-out drawer, tall enough to store A4 sized magazines. This is the final result: Full space design, right of cha
