VENICE, CA — Interior designers and style mavens Robert and Cortney Novogratz opened their first store this week in the heart of Venice on Abbot Kinney Boulevard — a hopeful time as reopenings begin across the city.

“House of Novogratz is a dream project for us," Robert and Cortney Novogratz said in a statement. "A public space to host our friends, family, and collaborators. A place where we can share new products, as well as feature designers, artists and performers of all kinds."

The new Los Angeles location is the first House of Novogratz store. The bungalow-style home and storefront feature their new Spring 2021 Outdoor Collection of furniture, rugs, and home decor accessories. Some of the products include great options for outdoor hangs, including outdoor tables and benches. The boutique also has great storage options for people living in small spaces, including a pub set with a table and counter stools, and a locker-style accent table with shelves.
