Refined Craft for the Home at The Commune Popup Shop in LA

Commune, the influential LA style collective, was started in 2004. Remodelista launched 3 a long time later on, and we’ve been avidly following the firm’s initiatives from the get-go, normally shocked and delighted by a essential Commune tenet: “allow time and place for dreaming.”

Lately, the crew actually did just that: cleared place in their studio to open up a momentary emporium dubbed The Good Commune Store Experiment. On see is the collective’s enjoy of refined craft: family models, both equally elaborate and utilitarian, made by the household of artists and artisans Commune has been collaborating with for a long time. The program is to preserve the shop open up for four months and then see what occurs, so capture it even though you can.

Previously mentioned: “In the spirit of Comme des Garcons’ guerrilla shops from the nineties, we dropped a modular structure in the center of an unfinished place in the 1924 Spanish Colonial making that homes our studio in LA’s MacArthur Park,” describes Roman Alonso, who runs Commune with his lover, Steven Johanknecht.

The organization 1st went into retail in 2008, when they pitched a tent in the middle of their perform house and invited good friends to make matters to sell in it. “Eventually we moved it all on the net, but the shopkeeper bug had bit us hard,” claims Roman.
