Matters of Space

Los Angeles


Both an interior-design firm and store, Matters of Space sells its own mid-century-inspired furniture and a sharply curated collection of homewares and accessories from independent American and international designers. Look for photo collages by Hamish Robertson, glazed pottery by Highland Park's own Lily King and funky polymer-clay necklaces from Athens, Greece. We especially love the handmade, geometric-motif rugs from Brooklyn's Aelfie.
