bold paintings and illustration from local artists

design by Adam Ellis Studio in the restaurant.
"The materials were chosen to give the space
an Old World feel, drawing from the early 20th
century destination hotels of the south of France,"
Parker adds. "Wallpapers, velvets and patterned
fabrics sit alongside deep, rich leathers in order
to give the space a sense of age and history." The
combination of influences is also reflected through
the furnishings and lighting, from individual
lamps custom-made by Lusive in East L.A., and
a courtyard chair from Serena & Lily, to furniture
designs based on 1920s and '30s European
pieces with a modern touch.
In a final appraisal of the space, Parker describes
Olivetta as "an exuberant and whimsical series of
spaces which mix the Old World elegance of the
Mediterranean with the playful frivolity of West
Hollywood." fettle-design.co.uk
