Denizen Design Gallery

8600 Venice Blvd., 310-838-1959, www.denizendesigngallery.com

 

Denizen owner Megan Griffith has not only taken an art space and showcased furnishings as exhibits; she's created a gallery where form truly becomes function. This 3,500 -square-foot showroom focuses on the convergence of cutting-edge designers and eco-friendly practices.  The latest: Brightly colored, quirky and infinitely usable Adirondack chairs (crafted entirely from recycled milk jugs and margarine tubs) from Loll Designs, and ultra-chic pieces from Urban Woods, a group of designers who fashion furniture from reclaimed, SoCal-salvaged wood.  Denizen also hosts monthly receptions to introduce new artists - both traditional designers as well as those visionaries who transform last months refused into tomorrow's coffee table.
