Galerie Half

A favorite purveyor to the Los Angeles design cognoscenti, Galerie Half is imbued with a sense of timeless imperfection. Pieces from disparate design traditions converge seamlessly in a single room: a bleached Gustavian daybed is flanked by a Roman statue, a Venetian mirror reflects African masks, and a rustic farmhouse table is framed by caned chairs. Galerie Half is talented at constructing such diverse compositions. A vivid hue can create synchronicity between the timeworn patina of a glazed terracotta planter and the softened leather of an Advocat and Press chair by Le CorbusierPierre Jeanneret. A monochromatic palette of contrasting textures can ground a room, creating harmony between luxurious and humble materials, or signed and anonymous designs. Similarly, complementary shapes can provide balance—the horizontal stripes on a Finnish floor lamp echo those in Marcel Breuers 1932 armchair, and the seductive curve of Carlo Mollinös Suora lamp mimics that of Rick Owens marble stool. The genius of Galerie Half and the celebrity homes that they have appointed lies in this artful curation of individual elements with soul.
The transcendent gallery is a haven for Los Angeles interior designers and star Hollywood clientele, including Jason and Amanda Anka Bateman, Ellen Degeneres, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, and Rosie Huntington Whitely and Jason Statham.
