WITKE SHOP Witke is a bright and open oneroom, year-old showroom on Melrose Avenue. Started by interior designer Bret Witke, the showroom features a mix of furniture, lighting and art. The artworks on display come from an array of places, partly from Witke’s own collection and others bought at auction or created by artist friends. Most of the furniture in the showroom is vintage, something that Witke includes in every one of his projects to lend a bit of history and mix up the space. The art on view has the same feel. It is a mix of African masks from the 1950s, prints and photographs from the 1970s and both paintings and sculpture made recently. It’s a refined mix of old and new in a space where one feels fine casually dropping in. 8281 Melrose Ave. Tel (323) 782-1757 Hours: Tuesday - Saturday 11 a.m. - 5 p.m.
