A Look Inside the ‘As Of Now’ Artisan Collective in Los Angeles
The brand-new home goods collective As Of Now is located inside the A+D Museum in downtown Los Angeles. It is a spacious shop that pays homage to many local LA artisans and designers, featuring everything from flatware and plates to furniture and handbags. One of my favorite aspects is the ever-changing gallery of artwork, and with the way that downtown LA is booming, this local artisan-inspired shop is right at home.
