Trip Haenisch Takes a Trip for Vintage French Modern, English Sideboards and a Moscow Mule The designer to the Hollywood heavyweights shares where he finds a curated array of finely crafted and surprising finds around the quarter.
Despite a long list of celebrity clients like Courtney Cox, Cheryl Tiegs and Laura Dern, Trip Haenisch would rather talk about the design rather than the client, no matter the star wattage. Originally from Kansas City, Haenisch moved to Los Angeles over 30 years ago and has been creating eclectic interiors for Tinseltown’s bold face names. Fusing refined touches with unexpected, modern details, the result is always a luxurious and livable space.
We’re getting a rare glimpse into some of his most notable projects in his brand new book, Personal Space: Trip Haenisch. From celebrity homes in exclusive enclaves like Bel Air and Pacific Palisades to a mountain hideaway in Park City, Utah, Haenisch’s sharp eye, distinctive designs and clever whimsy is on full display The title is an essential for any design enthusiast’s library.
In addition to being dubbed “Hollywood’s Top 20 Interior Designers” by the Hollywood Reporter, Haenisch’s work has been showcased in C, as well as Architectural Digest, Los Angeles Times, and Vogue.
On the eve of his book launch, Haenisch was kind enough to share his favorites in and around the LCDQ. Our takeaway? We’ll have what he’s having.
My favorite places to shop around the LCDQ…
“Hollywood at Home… Peter has fantastic fabrics. There is also well-priced and edited vintage furniture and accessories. Lee Stanton’s eclectic showroom features amazing finds from all over Europe. Timeless pieces that work in traditional and modern settings. Una Malan for beautifully crafted and designed furniture, lighting, wallpaper, and textiles. Lastly, Marc Phillips for beautifully designed handmade rugs as well as an exceptional selection of antique rugs.”
Best score ever was…
“A circa 1840s English sideboard in pristine condition from Lee Stanton.”
Biggest design weakness and where we can always get our fix… “Vintage French modern furniture at Hollywood at Home.”
I am currently on the hunt for…
Where I take clients (or ourselves) before/after shopping LCDQ…
For non-design browsing around the LCDQ…
Hotel I’d recommend to visitors…
“The Jeremy West Hollywood…for its beautiful, skyline views, and infinity pool deck. It’s the first hotel in WeHo in 30 years built from the ground up.”
An inspiring place to see around LCDQ…
“West Hollywood Park is a work in progress with new off-leash dog parks, walkways, picnic areas and soon to come aquatics and recreation center.”
I think the hidden gem of LCDQ is really…
“Una Malan is tucked away behind a secluded central courtyard in a 1937 John Elgin Woolf designed property. It’s a beautiful mix of home furnishings, lighting, and textiles.”
