This place is awesome. Adam Blackman is fantastic and Darrell Meade is great to work with as well. You have to see this curated collection to believe the unusual items they have. A tiny bone to pick is that they could update the website slightly more frequently but that is a tiny concern. Overall one of the most amazing places in LA. Has to be seen to be believed. Check out some of the works in the photo section. Thank you guys!

Okay, years in the design business, and an Art aficionado, I love the thriving design scene here in LA. It truly runs the gamut giving way to any whim or conviction that could ever cross the mind… and then there is Blackman Cruz. With an open mind and a true thirst for seeing things in a new light, I thrill at the very chance to take a couple of hours and indulge my senses by enjoying a stroll around in any one of the many wonderful Design Pockets here in Los Angeles. I always come away with a positive, whether it’s something old, new, borrowed, or blue, it’s fun to take it all in. And then there is Blackman Cruz. Rock Star Stuff. The Bomb artistic sick ill over the rainbow intelligent thoughtful humorous substantial tactile catwalk of source for the few who can see past everybody else. Thank you from the bottom of my heART.

Better than shopping the flea market in Paris, curating completed. A journey of true treasures, and some will surprise you. Collections of curiousties with euphoric effect. Best if you don’t talk and just look around and let it soak in. Highlight of my visit GL

This place is simply awesome. These guys are the ultimate tastemakers and way ahead of their time. I would pay to enter this store it is so much fun. They’re the one’s who started this concept and continue to be leaders in their field

Unique doesn’t begin to describe the depth of stuff I see each visit… things I never knew existed. Friendliness without being pushy.

This store is unparalleled anywhere! Incredible furniture, antiques, art and home décor. Electic mix of contemporary and vintage. They are able to manufacture and/or tweak most designs to suit your specific needs. Prices are deservedly stratospheric and you should not be shopping here if your are not looking for a truly magnificent and unique piece… price is an afterthought. That said, it is great just to go for a walk through and take in this amazing environment.

Last time I was in Blackman Cruz there was a huge Eadweard Muybridge print that was larger than any of his work I had ever seen. Museum worthy. This time, in their new digs, there were important artifacts of daily life of any sentient modernist: a disco ball with independently articulated mirrored lenses(the mirror ball looked like a Greek cross divided in thirds where each element spun in the opposite direction of the adjoining mirrors.) Imagine how light fills any place lucky enough to have such a thing. The owners are charming. I was with my friend, Kelly Lasser. On Saturdays, they have drawing salons with their friends complete with life models. There were tiaras from lost debutantes. And, a sterling grasshopper together with African headdresses. Heaven.

for unique furniture and accessories, this place cannot be beat. the boys at BC have a certain aesthetic that reflects sophisticated ruin, and i really love it. The cast metal octopus tentacle floor lamp? GORGEOUS. looks great in my house, btw. Cast Sisyphus bookends? fantastic, vaguely homoerotic, perfect for the living room bookshelves. the Pompeiian phallic wind chime? hmmm. Might look nice in my garden, but possibly a wee bit too gay, even for me. variety of 19th and 20th century furniture; a wide range of interesting objets d’art, and the fantastic lamps and furniture from the BC studio.
