THE GOODY BAG: MAISON MAGNIFIQUE

As I always say, anytime a party has great music, sweet treats and fun people, it's definitely a success. It's Alissa from The Goods Design here with The Goody Bag - an insider's view of LA's interior design soirees.



Last week I hit up the Erinn V Maison grand opening fete (that's me on the left with the fabulous ladies from Decorative Carpets.)


It's a furniture wonderland. In Los Angeles space is often at a premium - it's fantastic that the showroom for her furniture collection is so spacious you can see everything beautifully laid out.

See that mirror with the bird feet? That's my favorite little goody from the showroom (in case anyone is wondering what to get me for the holidays!). And that large starburst mirror and fabulous sectional sofa are definitely on my lust-list as well.


Owner Erinn Valencich also heads up an incredible interior design firm (Erinn V Design Group) - so if you don't live in LA and can't pop into her showroom, I definitely suggest heading over to her website for some great inspiration. Here's a little preview of what you'll see...


Erinn V Maison is located at 319 S. Robertson Blvd. between 3rd and Burton. If you don't see my favorite mirror, it's probably because I've snatched it up for myself!

HIGH GLOSS: THE BRIAN ATWOOD B SHOWROOM

You may have already heard the buzz about Brian Atwood's new "B" label. It's a rather sassy mix of styles, where strong, bold silhouettes meet modern, feminine details, making the newly designed showroom a perfect reflection of the B aesthetic.  Lucky for us, we got a little peek into the new space to share with you!

The fun part of decorating a showroom space is that it can take more risks and be a bit more over the top glam. More than the furniture, I love the chrome displays - both simple shelving and abstract sculpture - the most.

Brian Atwood explains his vision: “The movement of the space is organic, young and expresses the spirit of the B girl. I wanted the showroom to have the feeling of an edgy art installation that incorporates everything I love – gorgeous art, sleek furniture and sexy shoes.”

He commissioned renowned installation artist, Sebastien L. Agneessens, to create two distinct areas decorated in an mix of custom-made contemporary furniture and vintage pieces from the 1960's and 1970's, creating a very high gloss factor.


The giant mirrored aluminum sculpture was based on the texture of reptile scales and weaves throughout the showroom serving as a unique display equally glamorous shoes. Agneessens explains his inspiration: “When designing the sculpture, I kept in mind how a giant glam rock vibraphone would look, something Daft Punk would play with at their concert. It has the ability to capture and reflect the light in a fantastical way, and further translates the look and feel of the space: organic, yet contemporary and hopefully elegant.”

What do you think of the whole look? I certainly think it evokes a rock and roll edginess and I love the light reflecting everywhere - there's such a fabulous energy to it! I'd also take that pair of leopard Milo Baughman chairs. Rowr.

BIG ON BUCKINGHAM

Kristen Buckingham happens to be one of my favorite designers - her fresh, eclectic aesthetic is something to be highly admired. Lucky for me, I was extended the invitation to take a peek at her new(ish) showroom on La Cienega while I was in town, and was thrilled to visit some of my favorite pieces in person!

The bold entry alone made me swoon, but it was the mix of Kristen's beautiful pieces alongside collections of vintage lighting and accents, as well as perfectly selected artwork, that made the space a must-see. Pretty little vignettes ranged from traditional and sweet (like the window setting), to more garden inspired (like the one below).

My favorite moment, however, was definitely this sofa in the middle of the showroom - I loved how the pillows instantly made the piece more playful!

I couldn't mention Kristen without touching on one of my favorite piece of hers - the asymetrical Jackie Bergere chair. And, now I can fully attest that it is indeed quite comfy too! Another stunner was this antique pendant that they hope to reproduce in the future - just amazing.

I look forward to interviewing Kristen for an upcoming Vignette series soon, so we can all learn a little more about the woman behind the designs!
