Shopper’s Diary: Esqueleto in Oakland

August 10, 2012

Lauren Wolf studied jewelry making in the mountains of Mexico and lived in New York City for several years before setting up shop in the Temescal neighborhood of Oakland.

Wolf whitewashed the interior of a former stable (including the floor) and turned it into a gallery for her own pieces as well as artwork by sympatico artists and designers. Bleached skulls, exotic cacti, and vintage ethnic rugs lend a Southwest-meets-San Francisco vibe to the space. For more information, go to Esqueleto. And to check out the next wave in floral design, go to Oakland's Coolest Garden Shop on Gardenista.
