Blending Art and Life: The Future Perfect's Hollywood Revival
In Los Angeles, there's something different - The Future Perfect. It is not only a famous gallery, but also a unique Art mecca, attracting countless people who love art and design.
Founded in 2003 by David Alhadeff, The Future Perfect has locations in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco, Showcasing the contemporary work of many outstanding designers such as Lindsey Adelman, Jason Miller, Chris Wolston and Piet Hein Eek, it has always been a staunch champion of American and international design.
The redesign and relocation of The Future Perfect Los Angeles flagship store has brought a whole new dimension to the art space. In 2021, Alhadeff purchased the iconic Hollywood Hills estate, Goldwyn House, with the intention of turning it into a gallery as well as a home for him and his family. Originally built by architect Arthur Heinemann in 1916 for avant-garde filmmaker Samuel Godwin, the house's fine art style provided excellent material for Alhadeff's work.
"This project is not so much a redesign as a restoration." Alhadeff explains. He is committed to restoring the house to its original appearance as much as possible, while cleverly incorporating modern technology. He loves the original features of the property, such as the molding found during the restoration process, the decorative details, the stairs and the beautiful Batcher tiles around the fireplace, as well as the meticulous restoration of the seemingly mundane but vital parts like the wiring and landscaping. To update the garden, he also hired landscape architect Art Luna to assist.
Inside, Kamp Studios plastered the walls to create a soft, neutral backdrop. Meanwhile, Chris Wolston helped renovate the dressing room with bronze sinks, lamps, mirrors and other accessories.
As Goldwyn House is both a home and a workplace, some areas are off-limits to visitors, such as the kitchen, family room, games room and bedrooms. But living in such a gallery-style home also has the unexpected benefit of allowing Alhadeff to get to know the space on a very private level, which is helpful for staging exhibitions and locating works.
Alhadeff is passionate about creating a dialogue between objects or artworks in a space, often mixing limited edition and one-of-a-kind pieces with works created in the studio. Like all successful gallerists, Alhadeff is always on the lookout for the next artist or designer to push the boundaries. "Pushing and developing this project gives me the motivation to move forward." "I love to travel and observe art and design across the country and around the world to bring that inspiration back into our space," he says.
From traditional gallery Spaces to blending resident galleries with homes, Alhadeff has taken a path of innovation. He made art no longer just limited to display, but truly integrated into life, and moved the museum into the home, bringing people a deeper, more meaningful and more immersive art experience.
At The Future Perfect, the harmonious fusion of art and life isn't just a concept—it's a lifestyle.
