NothingPersonal
Functional art from the strip mall
Everything in this collection used to be something else. A stack of DVDs. A paletas cart. A pill bottle. Nothing Personal rebuilds the furniture of everyday commerce into pieces you actually use.
The idea
Ordinary objects,
taken seriously.
Nothing Personal makes pieces out of the stuff nobody looks at twice. The video store rental case. The paletero cart coming down the block. The orange bottle from behind the pharmacy counter. Each one gets rebuilt in real materials with a real job to do, then released in small numbers and not made again. It reads like a joke until you're holding it. Then it's just a good object.

How to read it
Three rules the whole brand runs on.
It has to already exist
Nothing here is invented. Every piece starts as something you have already seen a thousand times and stopped noticing. The design work is in the noticing.
It has to actually work
The cart holds ash and keeps your roaches separate. The pill bottle takes real trash. The stash box locks up real essentials. If it only looked good it would be a sculpture, and it isn't one.
It runs out
Small batches, no restock schedule, no promises. Half of what we get through the door is gone the same week. That is the whole reason to come see it in person.

Questions
Before you come by.
What is Nothing Personal?
Nothing Personal is a Los Angeles brand that rebuilds everyday commercial objects into functional pieces and collectibles. Stash boxes shaped like DVD stacks, ashtrays shaped like paletas carts and duffle bags, a desk trash can shaped like a prescription bottle. Everything is produced in small runs and most pieces sell out without a restock.
Where can I buy Nothing Personal in Los Angeles?
1321 stocks Nothing Personal at 1321 Venice Blvd in Venice, open daily from 11am to midnight. You can see the full range in person, or order online for nationwide shipping and same day local pickup.
What is the Super Stash Bros stash box?
It is a collectible storage box built to look like a custom stack of DVDs, made from durable plastic at roughly 5.5 inches tall by 8 inches wide. It ships with a collectible pamphlet, which is part of why it gets treated as a drop rather than a container. It works just as well as a desk piece as it does storage.
Which pieces are ashtrays?
Two of them. The Push N Pass Cart is a paletas cart with two chambers, one for ash and one to keep roaches separate. The Don Merfos collaboration is a 6 inch mini duffle bag ashtray that comes with a custom sticker pack.
Do these restock?
Rarely, and never on a schedule. Nothing Personal produces in small batches and moves on. If a piece shows as sold out on this page it is genuinely off the shelf, and the best move is to call the shop and ask what came in this week.
Can I ship a Nothing Personal piece?
Yes. Everything in this collection ships nationwide from the shop. Local orders can be set for pickup at the Venice Blvd counter the same day.
