III Luxury Collective Sets Up in Culver City

LOS ANGELES — Three longtime Abbot Kinney Boulevard shop owners recently relocated to more serene settings on nearby Main Street, branding themselves III Luxury Collective. Pamela Barish, Mona Moore and LFrank on Thursday celebrate their new digs — totaling more than 3,300 square feet — in Venice, Calif., at the former home of Ray Azoulay’s antiques gallery Obsolete, which moved to a new space in Culver City. “The three of us have been talking about doing something together for a long time and none of us particularly wanted to leave Venice, so as soon as Ray’s gallery became available, we just felt like this was the perfect space,” Barish said. The three originally looked at the former home of L&M Arts on Venice Boulevard, which was listed for sale at $6 million, but ultimately decided to wait. Jewelry designer Liseanne Frankfurt’s LFrank shop — which has a nod to Azoulay in the way of two 19th-century French sconces she purchased from him — connects with Barish’s store via a portico entrance. An antique door, another purchase from Azoulay, connects Barish’s space with that of Lisa Bush’s store Mona Moore. After 11 years on Abbot Kinney, Barish said she was ready for a change of scenery
