Lightopia Santa Monica store opened on Lincoln last year (2019) to display the latest LED and designer lighting fixtures to Los Angeles interior designers and retail customers. Featuring designer lighting from all over the world including brands like Bocci, Moooi, Tom Dixon, Cerno, Siemon & Salazar and more. Lightopia’s emphasis is educating clients on the features of LED lighting, particularly warm dim LED options that mimic incandescent light color.
In addition to Santa Monica, Lightopia has stores in Manhattan Beach (opened in 2013) and Costa Mesa (opened in 2015).
Lightopia replaces Livestyle Designs Studio that offered hand-selected furniture and accessories from around the world with direct imports, custom designs, retail and wholesale prices to the public. Francesca and her husband Ahmad Deshae, opened LiveStyle Marketplace & Gallery in Venice in 2009. They offer special and unusual pieces culled from their extensive travels throughout Indonesia, Bali and other exotic spots around the world.
LifeStyle Design Studio replaced VT Furniture that had been on that Lincoln & Kensington corner since 2003.
