DTLA LIFE MAG #6 | JUNE 2014 | Page 22

Photo: Melissa Di Meglio Seems a quiet Scandinavian invasion has been launched. First, Acne Studios, Stockholm’s luxury fashion house burst upon the scene. They in turn, recruited Sweden’s beloved ilcaffé to open with them on Broadway. Now, just around the corner on Hill, Austere has joined DTLA’s Scandinavian influx, and what a welcomed arrival! Housed in the ground floor of parking garage on the southeast corner of 9th and Hill, Fredrik Carlström’s “magazine you can walk into” is an engaging salute to Scandinavian design and innovation. This retail/showroom/event space presents an elegant crash course on leading voices in clothing, furniture, products and design objects. Current standouts include Altewaisaome separates, Schnayderman button down shirts, White Brief undergarments, POC cycling helmets, Bjork & Berries body products, Poul Henningsen lighting and a personal sentimental favorite, Brio Train sets. Den är så cool! Austere 912 S Hill Street Los Angeles, CA 90015 323 977 9280 www.austere.co
