Garde in Los Angeles

April 16, 2012

On our must-visit list in LA: Garde, a new shop on Beverly Boulevard, featuring stylishly understated housewares and accessories.

Our friend David John of You Have Been Here Sometime alerted us to Garde's arrival: "Garde is the latest addition to Beverly Boulevard's design-centric community, which includes Heath Ceramics, Lawson-Fenning, Bourgeois Boheme, and Eccola, to name a few. Scotti Sitz, who worked with fashion brands like Calvin Klein and Giorgio Armani, opened Garde to showcase works that that were not being seen elsewhere in LA. She is currently carrying drinking glasses by llse Crawford with Michael Anastassiades that heighten the awareness of drinking something special, as well as work by Lindsey Adelman, the lighting designer, and ceramic work by California potter Sarah Paloma. On the back wall, there is shelving inspired by Donald Judd's 1969 Blue Box sculpture, perfect for showcasing linens and such. It's these small details that make Garde such a welcome addition to Beverly Boulevard." For more information, go to Garde.
