Custom Luxury in Honolulu A Different Take on "Island Style"

Fun story, did you read our last blog post here? If so, this is the EXACT same unit, in the same building, just 15 floors below! AND, not only that, but this unit is also owned by a dear friend and client of almost 20 years. In fact, the three of us have been friends all this time! What a fun project, two of the same units with completely different styles!

Again, we collaborated with various esteemed vendors and utilized a range of designer prints, wallpapers, and textiles to establish layers of pattern and interest. For this client however, she wanted a more luxurious feel and not as much of a nod to the Hawaii beach feel. We still had tons of fun selecting luxurious textures, Cole & Son wallpaper, as well as fabrics from Palecek, CW Stockwell, Pindler and Mclaurin & Piercy.  We started the design with the custom pink sofa, so soft, subtle and unique and then built the rest of the design around the pale pink. We used soft tones of taupe, greenish grays and natural creams to keep it organic and light. The textured Palecek pieces add a touch of modern island feel to keep it warm and welcoming. We chose all natural, extra soft wool rugs from Enkay that offer such a cozy feel yet keep it light and soft as well.

All upholstered furniture was custom crafted by Rue using carefully selected fabrics from Los Angeles showrooms such as Kravet, Pindler, and Thomas Lavin. Consistent with Rue's design philosophy, each piece is locally made in Los Angeles, employing traditional handmade techniques by skilled artisans. Additionally, we integrated luxurious natural wool rugs from Enkay to maintain an organic foundation while accentuating the space with sophisticated patterns and soft textures.

We just love this luxurious, organic space beautiful sanctuary and can't wait to visit for dinner overlooking the sunset.
