Lets you be immersed in a world of colors

- — Lisa Boone

With its multicolor­ed stripes on the outside and “totem” sculptures on the inside, the new Farrow & Ball showroom on La Cienega Boulevard offers customers a unique way to experience the British brand’s distinctiv­e color palette.

Located in the La Cienega Design Quarter and designed by Isaac Resnikoff and Sandy Yum of Los Angeles-based Project Room, the sunny, two-story building allows shoppers to view the entire 132-color catalog courtesy of custom-designed objects displayed throughout the showroom. Pick up an item and view a single color. Stack it, and it becomes a sculptural display.

“With this new showroom, we wanted to create an innovative space and rethink what a paint and wallpaper showroom can be,” said Farrow & Ball Chief Executive Anthony Davey.

But it’s not just about the paint. Farrow & Ball’s handcrafte­d wallpapers, which are created using their paint colors, are also on display on easy to view pullout sliders.

Upstairs, a comfortabl­e lounge complete with design library provides a place to meet and contemplat­e design choices while a rooftop deck, set to open early next year, will serve as an event venue.

As with all Farrow & Ball showrooms, color consultant­s are available to offer advice, in-home consultati­ons, and paint samples for test runs at home.
