Worth crossing the street for

Four top sources for antiques, vintage modern and California design will join forces for a summer sidewalk sale today at NK, the L.A. store run by the design team Nickey Kehoe. Participants include the interior and furniture design firm Lawson-Fenning, the vintage lighting showroom Rewire, and Reform Gallery, a specialist in West Coast studio arts and crafts from the 1950s to 1970s. NK’s maple-framed chair, a 1960s Dutch piece that has been re-caned, will be marked down 50% to $900. (A period reproduction French writing desk with gilt accents, originally $2,400 and marked down to $950, already got snapped up by someone who read the notice on our blog.) The sale runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m at 730 N. Highland Ave.
