Gibson

"We expect people to shop a little at our shop and then a lot at places like Ikea or Crate & Barrel," we overhead Gary Gibson of Gibson telling a young couple during our visit...

Peace Industry

You know a trade is a dying craft when you've never heard of or seen it before you walk in to one particular store. In this case, we're talking about a store called Peace Industry and the...

Plushpod

Yes, if you furnished your home top to bottom with furniture and accessories from Plushpod your space would look rather severe--high-concept modern furniture has a way of going there. But...

Symmetry

Asian and modern furniture stores usually occupy diametrically opposed areas of the home design landscape. Symmetry effortlessly marries the two aesthetics as if they were meant for each other all...

Weego Home

Modernists tend to use "contemporary" as a bad word, a synonym for boring, ordinary, unremarkable. The furniture of Weego Home is contemporary without being all those other things. Just...

Woven History/Silk Road

The Silk Road was an ancient trade route that linked Europe to much of China. Silk Road, the store, captures some of the magic of the fabled route by finding and collecting items from the many...

Apartment Zero

Apartment Zero's 2700 square feet is full of modern furniture and accessories. This in itself is nothing to write home about. Apartment Zero fills 2700 square feet with modern furniture and nowhere can you find a chair fit for ET or a molded neon plastic affair. Now this deserves a congressional medal. Proving that modern design does not have to be cold and strange, the store is full...

Gibson

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/ca/los_angeles/gibson_1_web.jpg

"We expect people to shop a little at our shop and then a lot at places like Ikea or Crate & Barrel," we overhead Gary Gibson of Gibson telling a young couple during our visit (we're sneaky like that)--and that's all we needed to be sold on Gibson. The store is a mixture of Gibson's own furniture and rug designs, alongside local artwork, lighting, fabrics,...

Peace Industry

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/ca/san_francisco/peace_industry_1_web.jpg

You know a trade is a dying craft when you've never heard of or seen it before you walk in to one particular store. In this case, we're talking about a store called Peace Industry and the craft of making wool felt rugs. Apparently an age-old tradition in Iran, the art of making wool felted rugs had nearly been lost until the owners of Peace Industry helped spur a revival. These days...

Plushpod

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/ca/los_angeles/plushpod_1_web.jpg

Yes, if you furnished your home top to bottom with furniture and accessories from Plushpod your space would look rather severe--high-concept modern furniture has a way of going there. But that's not the point. At Plushpod there are hundreds of pieces, big and small, $20-10000, all quite modern. And how you mix and match is up to you. Furnish your whole loft for the uber-hip look, or add...

Symmetry

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/il/chicago/symmetry_1_web.jpg

Asian and modern furniture stores usually occupy diametrically opposed areas of the home design landscape. Symmetry effortlessly marries the two aesthetics as if they were meant for each other all their lives. The decidedly grown-up store--we imagine a typical customer to be a doctor in her '40s with a thriving private practice and a penchant for world travel--gathers items that are...

Weego Home

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/ca/santa_monica/weego_home_1_web.jpg

Modernists tend to use "contemporary" as a bad word, a synonym for boring, ordinary, unremarkable. The furniture of Weego Home is contemporary without being all those other things. Just stepping into their space will convince you of that. The store's extensive line of sofas and furniture, some of it in-house, some of it from others, has just the right amount of flare to make...

The Silk Road was an ancient trade route that linked Europe to much of China. Silk Road, the store, captures some of the magic of the fabled route by finding and collecting items from the many countries that the Silk Road traveled through.
