Shopper’s Diary: Lola Home in Berkeley

April 30, 2010

One of the Bay Area’s best under-the-radar design shops is Lola Home, in the gracious Elmwood neighborhood of Berkeley. Owner Lois Vinsel has a brilliant eye; in her tiny shop she stocks lighting, tableware, and other items for the home from an international roster of designers including Belgium architect Vincent Van Duysen; Brooklyn design collective Rich, Brilliant, Willing; Japanese architect Sanaa chairs; and Seattle designers Iacoli & McAllister, among others. There’s no online shopping, but Vinsel will ship items anywhere; call (510) 981-8345 or go to Lola Home for more information.
