Culver City designer Matt Winter is known for creating vintage-inspired restaurant interiors and his new pop-up design studio in Venice is no exception. For the next six months, the designer plans to use a salvaged 1939 Quonset hut as a temporary office for his M. Winter Design Studio , as well as a retail space for his surplus of vintage treasures. Sharing the property with Winter is the Styleliner , a pop-up shop of unique jewelry, bags and other accessories. This is the second time that Winter, 28, has installed the two Quonset huts on a vacant parking lot. Last year, he set up shop on La Brea Avenue for a year, only to disassemble the military huts and move on. "I want to take pieces of land and inhabit them and show people what they can do," Winter said.
