"Honey-golden hues reflect from various surfaces, suffusing the interior with an amber light that recalls the Hills at sunset when the city seems to dissolve into the atmosphere. Bespoke, burnished brass fixtures add ambiance while custom velvet seating in a saturated mustard tone injects both richness and warmth. Globe pendants - referencing the iconic vanity bulbs of mid-century film sets - serve as a reminder that Hollywood's glamour has always been built on the marriage of performance and intimacy."
"The space's romance is heightened by its mythological muse: Venus, goddess of beauty, love, and fertility. Inspired by her alluring form, the design softens graphic postmodern lines with feminine arcs and flowing contours. The marble counter is crafted like a sculpture; custom banquettes cradle diners in plush intimacy; chandeliers suspended like glowing orbs hint at celestial myth as much as Hollywood vanity."
Café Goldie occupies a reimagined space within the W Hollywood hotel and centers gold as a symbolic material linked to stardom, spectacle, and historic value. Designer Alexa Nafisi-Movaghar of Adean Studios fuses old Hollywood with Californian sensibility through honey-golden hues, burnished brass fixtures, and saturated mustard velvet seating. Globe pendants reference mid-century vanity bulbs and underscore the interplay between performance and intimacy. The design invokes Venus, softening postmodern lines with feminine arcs and flowing contours. A sculptural marble counter, custom banquettes, and chandelier orbs create a layered blend of mythology and modernity. The overall atmosphere feels cinematic, warm, and personally inviting.
