Former LA Residence of Designer Philippe Starck

Summary:

A fairytale surf shack has never looked so chic. Designer Philippe Starck’s first American residence is a fantastic design story with accents of surrealism hidden right in front of your nose. Designed like a fairytale, each room is a new and exciting chapter in this home’s history. The furniture and layout prioritize comfort and deliver the classic vibe of a laid-back California residence. This home is a living museum to the work of Mr. Starck, and you will wake up every day creatively inspired!

The Space:

Committed to Your Safety: Open Air Homes takes sanitization seriously. We are following all CDC Cleaning and Disinfecting Guidelines to assure you have a safe stay during this time. We are fortunate to have some of the best cleaners in the business, with many of them going on their 8th year of employment at Open Air Homes. We are genuinely grateful for their service, and have always paid our cleaning team a fair and liveable wage. Our cleaners always wear masks and gloves, and sanitize all surfaces right before departure. Your safety is our main priority.

This Philippe Starck's perfect “designer surf shack” has snowy-white floors and ceilings offset by candy-color-coated walls and it's unique collection of everything Starck, from his gnomes, and chairs for Driade, Kartell and Emeco, kitchen and bathroom fixtures for Axxor, objects for Alessi and lighting for Flos. A Starck experience reminiscent of his works for the Delano, SLS, Mamma Shelter, and others.
