Casa Perfect showroom opens in Elvis Presley's former Los Angeles home
Design gallery The Future Perfect has opened another California location, this time inside a house that once belonged to Elvis Presley in Beverly Hills.
The residence in the Trousdale Estates neighbourhood has become the gallery's latest home in Los Angeles, following a stint in a modernist Hollywood Hills home that opened in January 2017.
"Nomadic by design, Casa changes locations to experiment in different architectural settings overlaid with cultural or historical significance," said a statement from The Future Perfect.
The new Casa Perfect showroom occupies a building designed by in 1958 by architect Rex Lotery, then bought in 1967 by music icon Presley ? who lived there with wife Priscilla and daughter Lisa Marie for six years.
"The Future Perfect stumbled upon the Trousdale property, as with most great things, through a bit of luck and serendipity," said the gallery. "Hitting the right combination of real estate ingredients; view, space, light, and pool, the house fit perfectly in the Casa plan."
Newly renovated, the house retains many of its original features, including restored marble fireplaces and coffered ceilings. Sliding glass walls open onto a terrace with a lawn, a swimming pool and panoramic views of Los Angeles.
Casa Perfect follows similar model to the previous outpost, where collectible contemporary designs are laid out like a fully functioning home. Visitors can wander through the various rooms and browse the pieces at...
