A. Kinney Court

Designed by Ilan Dei Studio, A. Kinney Court is described as a “concept fashion boutique and eyewear gallery” on  Abbot Kinney Blvd.  Located just a few blocks away from our design studio and workshop in Venice, CA. The interior was not only designed but completely fabricated and constructed by Ilan Dei Studio (project team: Ilan Dei, Peter Turba and Scott Chamberlain) with the intention of dynamically displaying the eyewear and other products.

The design intention takes cues from a variety of inspirations, ranging from the Eames bent plywood processes and skateboard construction to the sand dune formations and ocean waves seen along the neighboring coast.
