This New LA Music HQ Mixes Warm Woods and Cool Metals Like Nothing We’ve Seen

Normally we would say that an office doesn't have any business looking this good. But Ceremony of Roses — whose new offices were designed by Dean Levin of the LA studio 22RE in collaboration with Madeline Denley of Never Far Studios — is the merch and branding arm of Sony Music, and as such has a constant stream of global talents coming through, from Adele to Olivia Rodrigo (whose merch, we would argue, is impeccable.) The office is housed in a former 1950s factory in Culver City, and it bears several signatures we've come to associate with Levin's up-and-coming studio: a 1970s-influenced aesthetic that preferences elements like wall-to-wall carpeting in lush tones, beautifully monolithic metal expanses, and hits of coolly minimalist vintage furniture.

This Holiday Rental in London is a Treasure Trove of 1970s and ’80s Furniture

Have you ever found the perfect piece of furniture, only to realize that you can’t fit it into your apartment because the pass-throughs are too narrow? For Hollie Bowden, access was particularly problematic during her renovation of a one-bedroom holiday rental apartment in London, which is located on the fifth and sixth floors of a Victorian building in Covent Garden and reached via a narrow and winding staircase. Which items could she bring up safely, without having to first hack them to bits? Luckily, she found a modular leather sofa bed by De Sede, one of many vintage finds from the '70s and '80s that give the sunny yellow space a retro-futurist feel, in a vibe we're calling High-Tech Country Kitchen.
