How Stock Studio Is Fostering Community In The L.A. Design Scene

As Stephan Jones approaches the first anniversary of his West Hollywood shop, Stock Studio, fostering a sense of community remains a priority. LUXE met with the designer to learn more.

Tell us about the location, which also houses your design office.

Finding it was lucky—it’s two minutes from my home! I love our building because it’s prewar, has big display windows and an industrial vibe. We have great galleries for neighbors, too: Karma, Tierra del Sol and Megan Mulrooney.

What should visitors expect?

Midcentury pieces from Belgium, Northern France, Holland and Scandinavia, and objects by local artists like ceramicists Lee Kawasaki and Lukas Weyandt.

One of your goals is building community. How does the shop support that?

I’m involved with Otis College of Art and Design, and helping young artists with connections or sales is one way, but we also host supper clubs to connect creatives.

What’s ahead?

I’m spreading my wings and sourcing more items here in the States. We’ll be continuing pop ups as well—we recently had textiles by Lineage Botanica and ceramics by French artist Victoria Corbasson. My focus is always on finding the unique.
