Future heirlooms inspired by Frieze LA artworks

Four standout artworks at Frieze Los Angeles 2026 I have been drawn to and how I’d incorporate them in an interior design. Each object is carefully curated: handcrafted artisanal objects, vintage finds, and contemporary design.

Interior design of a stylish guest house

Hansel and Gretel in California and stylishly excentric secret stays

An enchanting fairy-tale village at the Californian coast, French vintage design in the middle of Melrose Avenue and paintings that share wisdom with a famous Leonard Cohen song. What caught my eye recently and kept lingering in my mind.

Contemporary Rococo, future heirlooms and wearable art

Paintings that reveal hidden worlds, designers inspired by curious Wunderkammers, art fairs where centuries speak to each other in texture and colour… Five artists, artisans, exhibitions and fairs that caught my eye and kept lingering in my mind.
