Design Discipline

Reform School

Those junk catalogs and home accessories from the wrong side of the tracks have been a bad influence on you.

So that’s it. You’re going to Reform School. That’ll knock some design sense into you. The smartly stylish and sustainability-conscious wares at the new modern, crafty shop will do you good.

Zaishu stools, Alena Hennessy ceramics, and vessels by Roost will straighten out the house, while you set up a wholesome beauty regimen with products from 4mula and Art Home. The poster prints, creative tomes, and cards by Tall Cow and Polite are top-notch. And if you pay attention, you’ll get a lesson in emerging artists just by looking at the affordable works on the walls.

It may not seem this way now, but you will thank us for all of this later.

Preferably with a gift.

Reform School, 4014 Santa Monica Boulevard, between Sunset Boulevard and Manzanita Street, Silver Lake (323-906-8660 or reformschoolrules.com).
