  • Location: Echo Park, Los Angeles, CA
    Size: 5,000 sf

    Located in an ubiquitous strip mall along Sunset Boulevard in Echo Park, the neighborhood that surrounds Button Mash is rich with varied history and transformative change. Nods to nearby landmarks like the Los Angeles Police Academy mix with “Chinatown” film noir references and intertwine with post-modern design and pop cultural references to create a maximal timeless experience- an Elysian Drift. A kaleidoscopic journey through layers of transparency, reflectivity and pattern pull you in through a portal cut into the strip mall’s exterior, past the hand painted Talavera tiles and round window that bring visitors into an otherworldly tunnel filled with a dense custom wallpaper by artist Joseph Harmon.
