Designed by Los Angeles architecture and design firm 22RE, in collaboration with AKILA’s in-house design team, the store showcases a blend of Japanese craftsmanship and contemporary design. Natural wood motifs and sleek metal details create an aesthetic where Japandi meets West Coast cool. As their fourth location worldwide, this space may be their most impressive yet, with every detail meticulously planned. From skylights flooding the space with natural light to the use of Douglas fir trees native to the Pacific Coast, AKILA’s Los Angeles flagship is a feast for the eyes, which in itself is worth celebrating.
As the night went on at their opening event on May 30, friends and family were seen enjoying deep cuts played by incredible DJs, Omar SB and SOSUPERSAM, while drinks flowed and food was cooked and served by Jahkitori. Although the night ended at 10, though it was really 11, the party never truly stopped–we’re still celebrating. Now officially opened to the public and the community that continues to uplift them, if it wasn't known already, AKILA is more than an eyewear brand, but a community that runs deep, and everyone is welcome.
AKILA LA is located at 3300 Sunset Blvd. and is open daily from 11am - 7pm. You can also shop their summer collection here.
