SL70 Silver Lake

How’s this for international: unique, fair-trade stuff from every corner of the globe—even our own backyard—that calls to you in that you-know-you-want-me hypnotizing fashion. Enter Yolk, a splendidly cosmopolitan store run by Swede Maria Neuman, undisputed master of all things worldly. It’s a come-as-you-are kind of place where the aptly dubbed “free range design” reins king and everything wears easy. In other words: international styles like Marimekko, Iittala and Stokke, embroidered Indian blankets, sweatshirts from New Zealand and Portuguese dining tables are all at your service. Now, as for the unusual gifts, books and toys for the kids—they’re one-third of the store. Completely awesome? Our thoughts exactly.
