The season of giving is upon us, and we've got insight into what belongs at the top of your list from interior designers you love. Enter Olive Ateliers.

Based in the Arts District of downtown Los Angeles, Olive Ateliers tugs at the heartstrings of vintage decor enthusiasts who love the feeling of a collected home. What began in 2021 as a passion project, sourcing unique finds from flea markets and hosting small, curated drops, has quickly evolved into a highly sought after source to homeowners and interior designers alike. With an eye for items that carry an "old soul," Olive Ateliers offers a diverse range of pieces, from rustic benches to earthy vessels, all handpicked to create homes that feel timeless and collected.

The journey of Kendall Knox, Ben Knox and Laura Sotelo, founders of Olive Ateliers, is nothing short of extraordinary. It’s not every day that Hollywood stars like Melissa McCarthy text their friends to inquire about a vessel for sale at a local home, but such moments have become part of the allure surrounding this brand. Their early days of styling items in their backyard and posting playful, thoughtfully curated images on Instagram quickly won over vintage lovers across the country.

Today, Olive Ateliers has outgrown its humble beginnings, moving from backyard drops to increasingly large, always thoughtful, warehouses where you can experience the magic of the objects they source firsthand. What’s more, their expansion now includes an online retail experience that spans beyond their infamous drops, allowing customers nationwide to explore and purchase their curated selections as they please. Despite the growth, the brand remains true to its roots, with warehouse drops still drawing lines of eager shoppers around the block.

Ready to bring a storied feeling into your own abode? These designers know the look and can help you bring it home.
