Kelly Green
Silverlake - Los Angeles, CA United StatesHonestly, the fact that the furniture, paper goods, home accessories and tableware at Kelly Green are eco-friendly are just a bonus. We just like them because they look cool. Cards are cute, tableware is stylish, furniture is modern, yet warm.

Matter
SoHo - New York, NY United StatesIn it's Manhattan incarnation (the original shopping being Brooklyn bred), Matter has grown up without forgetting where it came from. Exemplary design is the tie that binds the stores offerings. On one side sits a row of display cases holding...

Propeller
Hayes Valley - San Francisco, CA United StatesPropeller is not just another nonsensical, hipper-than-thou store name. To us at least, it refers to the careers or promising young designer the store helps propel. The furniture and accessories store is a slightly jumbled assortment of...
ReForm School
Silverlake - Los Angeles, CA United StatesThe cottage that houses ReForm School could easily pass as an old-time school house and it is bland, mundane homes that are the pupils. An almost daunting selection of creative output is on display, the collective work of dozens of promising...
