The Future Perfect

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.

Nomadic by design, The Future Perfect changes locations to experiment in different architectural settings overlaid with cultural or historical significance. 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.

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. Visitors can wander through the various rooms and browse the pieces at leisure, intended as a more relaxed environment than a traditional gallery or showroom.
