Studio 65 has definitely created the most extraordinary outdoor furniture with iconic design. It’s the notorious Colonna collection. Inspired by the Ionic architecture order, Studio 65 designed a seat, chaise and side table for lounging entitled Colonna. By literally breaking down a column, the designers developed three seating units, each with a well designed personality.
‘Colonna’ – a capital, complete with volutes, functions as a chaise lounge
The Ionic volute, which is the upper part of the column and was not by chance called Capitello, becomes a luxurious chaise lounge. The middle piece (“Attica”) is a cozy seat with a dotted black and white cushion- a small, yet very interesting addition to the overall composition. “Attica TL” is the base, consisting of a central...

Design Store(y) visits a beauty of a shop in L.A. this month, called Garde. Owner Scotti Sitz, a native Angeleno who has also worked at top fashion houses in New York, opened the loft-like space last summer. Offerings are eclectic, but expertly curated. Even better, it’s not the usual boutique fare.
Why did you pick this city/neighborhood/storefront?
I used to live in this neighborhood in the Beverly corridor a few years ago and I have watched it evolve. It’s become a destination for high-end vintage furniture, great restaurants, and accessories. We looked at this space. It was a dump. The building is from the early 1940s and it had not been touched. The first business here was a bank of operators. It was the pre-411. So if you wanted to know who sold apple pies in Los Angeles between Fairfax and La Brea, these operators would tell you where to go. When we got this space there were the old phone jacks all along this wall. Then 30 years ago an electronic repair shop opened here. There was linoleum and false ceilings. The skylight was boarded up. We gutted the space.
Where did you get the name for the store?
We named the store Garde, keeping the idea of something new and different, and I also like the definition as it applies to en garde, the stance in fencing to prepare for your match.
What’s one of the challenges you have with the business?
The biggest challenge is to constantly vary the offerings of merchandise. From the beginning, I have sought to feature designers that...

The Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia designed the Endesa Pavilion, as part of the Smart City Expo in Barcelona, Spain. According to the architects: The project is an exercise in which a building, under the guidance of the block type of Barcelona, is adapted by adding a series of modules on its facade. These modules, which are seen as triangular pieces section, make possible for the building to optimize energy and spatial intelligence. Its size and components vary depending on the orientation and inclination of the sun, the relationship with the environment and other technical needs.
