At CH+D we know that the greatest luxury isn’t always square footage, it’s inspired design. For our premier showhouse, eight of LA’s top designers transformed a 1,400-square-foot, white-walled penthouse in Hollywood into an explosion of color, style and space-saving ideas. Want to see if for yourself? The Small Space Big Design Showhouse is open to visitors until November 18th.
“I’m a child of the 1970s, and that time period was my inspiration, particularly the big super-graphics that were popular at the time,” says designer Christopher Kennedy, who deftly blended pieces from midcentury to the disco era and beyond for the space that takes center stage in the penthouse loft. Kennedy called upon scenic artists from Warner Bros. Studio Services to paint the striped mural that covers the 20-foot walls. Known for his use of bold color, Kennedy repeated eye-popping hues—brown, orange, pink and green—in the furniture, creating a clever cohesiveness.
Kennedy chose Havana swing-arm wall lights and a Possini chandelier (not pictured) from Lamps Plus.
A Vladimir Kagan–style sofa covered in Schumacher’s Babe’s Tweed in Granny Smith green is paired with Kennedy’s David chair and ottoman in a bright melon hue to create a seating area in front of the fireplace, while his Robert chair with a Lucite frame sports a bright-green Kyle Bunting hide and is set next to the Dustin credenza.
