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.

Sliding Bookcase Doors KALLAX hack to divide your rooms

I replaced single-glazed sliding doors that divided the sitting room and dining room with a sliding KALLAX bookcase. For one “door”, I used two 2×2 cubes and one 2×1 unit. As we already owned 4 separate KALLAX 2×2 cubes and they seemed to be exactly the same width as the internal doors, we thought it might be possible to stack them. With one additional 2×1 KALLAX they almost matched the height of the internal doors. Sliding KALLAX bookcase doors in closed position First, still a work in progress but let us show you how it looks from the dining room, when the units are pushed together to close up the doorway. And the units pushed apart to enter the living room. We can access the storage cubes from both sides — from the dining or living room — which is so very useful. What I like most is, when viewed from the living room, when closed, it looks almost like a built-in unit.
