A R is British ex-pat Andy Griffith, a former film editor and self-avowed design junkie, and Rose Apodaca, a pop culture and style journalist. In late 2005, we opened our tiny shop in the heart of the Los Angeles creative enclave known as Silverlake, keen on sharing our excitement for great new design with anyone who would listen. We followed up a year later with our online store. And in fall 2007, our second freestanding store opened on Abbot Kinney in Venice, CA. We love talking about the designers we find locally and from afar, because it only goes to show that this brilliant and bold community is not so much distinguished by geographic or cultural boundaries but bound by the pursuit of aesthetics and innovative ideas. From clocks to carafes, slippers to stuffed toys, and baubles to bright lights, the constant is design that charms, functions and inspires. How does this make A R different from the other great design shops in the universe? We obsessively seek out the newest products, aiming to offer them first. We cherry pick the best from the best manufacturers. We dont settle for product simply available through domestic distributors: Challenges be damned, we import from anywhere in the world. We never sell anything we havent personally handled. We love everything we sell. In a sound bite: Global design. Edited. Thats A R.
