As tempting as it might be, you can’t move in to the stylish Block Shop showroom, which opens to the public today in the ATX Arts Complex in Atwater Village.
Outfitted with artist sisters Hopie and Lily Stockman’s Bauhaus-inspired textiles, and custom furnishings by Los Angeles designers Waka Waka, Brendan Ravenhill, Entler and Kalon Studios, the storefront is so elegant, you may feel guilty about walking on the colorful dhurrie rugs that line the floors.
