Ken Fulk Unveils His First Los Angeles Shop: Get The Scoop

Spring has arrived and there is no better time to discover Ken Fulk’s very first West Hollywood shop. The inimitable designer shares more about the serendipitous match between his boutique and Los Angeles’ gentlest season.

Tell us about the space.

We transformed a nondescript building into an immersive concept using artful techniques like trompe l’oeil and faux finishes. Inside, rooms are inspired by Bunny Mellon’s Virginia estate: a treillaged potting shed, plaster gallery and wood-paneled library. It’s a true stage set, designed to evoke a sense of hospitality and delight.

How is the shop tailored to outdoor living à la SoCal?

There’s an undeniable lushness to Los Angeles that we miss out on in our Bay Area and New York studios, so we leaned into that. While exuberant florals are part of our signature designs, here we offer exquisite indoor pots, antique stone pieces for gardens, vessels for floral arrangements and all manner of snips and baskets for cutting gardens and potting sheds.

What’s new for spring?

We’ll be adding to our collection of massive antique garden elements salvaged from Italian farmhouses and stone villas. We’ll also be debuting two signature scented candles inspired by my homes in Cape Cod and San Francisco. Finally, we are hotly anticipating an order of custom wicker dog beds upholstered with our Designer Dogs fabric collaboration with Pierre Frey.
