(323) 663-3603 Run by interior designers who sell great '60s pieces by Saarinen and Knoll. Right now, they're really big on architectural ceramics. And they have great sofas—I spec them for a lot of clients.

(323) 913-9558 A tiny new store packed with serious design stuff: cool Sarah Finn light fixtures, reproduction Japanese water and soda bottles made of glass (my faves) and a "design" vibrator that looks like some kid's toy—who that's for I do not know!

(323) 665-3801 This new local garden and outdoor pottery place has terrific landscape architectural pieces, like giant pots for plants, as well as recycled furniture and eco-friendly accessories. I just bought a simple concrete fire pit there.

(323) 644-1960 A great objet d'art store owned by the lovely Brad Cook. He has such a good eye, especially for emerging design like Sarah Cihat dishware and Jason Miller antler light fixtures. Any time I need to buy a gift, I know I'll find something fabulous there.
