The Velvet Underground: Retro Glamour in Los Feliz - Remodelista
LA nightlife impresario Dustin Lancaster opened Bar Covell on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Feliz a couple of years ago; now he’s offering five suites (upstairs) for patrons who want to stay a bit longer. Photos by Bethany Nauert. The gilded entrance with signage by Marjory Garrison signals Hollywood-style glamour to come. A pink-velvet-upholstered Eileen Gray Bibendum chair anchors the Chapter 3 room, which is meant to evoke a Parisian atelier. A lighting fixture by LA designer Brendan Ravenhill illuminates the dining table in the Chapter 4 suite. An upholstered banquette covered in green velvet echoes the Eileen Gray Bibendum chair in the living room. In the kitchenette, a tile floor from Kismet. Each kitchenette comes with a Smeg refrigerator in black or white. A lounging corner off the kitchenette. A pair of sconces by Brendan Ravenill. A black and white corner in the Chapter 5 suite. The bed linens are from LA-based Parachute. The bathroom in the Chapter 3 suite features a strip of marbelized trim tile and brass fixtures for a bit of subtle glamour.
