Maid Marian 2

Roland Emmerich's gorgeous cruising yacht, Maid Marian 2, was restored to it's original condition when he purchased in 2007. Sparing no expense the Director hand picked deco furnishings and finishes to capture the spirit of this pleasure craft, originally built in 1931.

Once used to store life boats, the top deck has been converted for sunning while seeing the sites of Phuket where it she is currently moored.

Below deck, pieces from Empiric mingle with vintage furnishings and commissioned reproductions seamlessly.

Post refurbishing, the famous director shares his pride and joy with the lucky few who are able to charter such a luxurious ship. Ahh, to dream a little dream....

Hollywood Tree House

What do you do when you have designed custom furnishings for a specific space only to find yourself moving? If you are customer Sara Newkirk you make the transition with ease. Perched atop Sunset this unsuspecting home has all the charm of an English cottage.


Looking at her pieces now, it's hard to believe they weren't designed to fit this space. Our starburst base coffee table was realized after Sara saw it at the store in aluminum and urged us to offer it in brass. Paired with a 78" Janus Sofa, in Perriwinkle Blue linen, it creates a serene seating vignette where she can kick off her shoes and take in the view.

Proving when you buy what you love it will work in any space.
