      In 1979, three siblings—Joe Zeiden, Mike Zeiden, and Carol Malfatti—set out to create an art shop in Sherman Oaks, CA. 35 years later, that eye for design lives on in our stores and site. We empower everyone to live their most fabulous life with all the modern, glamorous finds that prove amazing style is a luxury we can all afford. Much like our products, we are unapologetically maximalist with our way of life. We are a fun, bright, hardworking team—we may be small in size, but we’re larger-than-life with our personalities. And we’re constantly in search of like-minded people who share our passion for designs that are as unforgettable as we are.
