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.

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.

KALLAX desk ideas: Three ways to set up a workstation

Three great ideas for a KALLAX desk . #1 Compact, minimalist desk for laptop I put together a KALLAX desk for my laptop for just under 25 euros. Just a KALLAX 2×2 is needed. No other materials required. IKEA item used: KALLAX 2 x 2 (77 x 77 cm) KALLAX 2×2 | IKEA.com All you need to do is assemble 3 of the pieces in a U shape. That is all.

Hackers Help: How to remake cam lock holes?

I want to put a 78.5” wide PAX configuration in a 77” space for a kids room . My plan is to eliminate the drawer on the right unit, then cut the shelves and rails to be 1.5” narrower. My question is, how do people attach two laminated pressboard IKEA pieces after they’ve cut off the cam lock holes? Related: See more Hackers Help questions and answers . Are they using drills bits and/or tiny hole saws to remake the cam lock holes? Or screws drilled in from the outside with wood glue? The outside pieces won’t be visible in my completed setup so I could go either way. I’m curious what other people are doing, either I haven’t seen this detail in past hacks or I haven’t been paying attention. ~ by Jenny *** Hi Jenny The best and tidiest method is to use the cut-off portion as a template to reproduce the same cam lock holes in the correct positions. The right sized drill bits and a Forstner bit should do the trick. A Forstner bit will drill a flat-bottomed hole (...
