Client Profile: Highball House
Highball House is a kitschy, four-bedroom throwback that will make you feel like you've just boarded a 1960s Pan Am flight to Morocco! From the creative minds of Mamrie Hart, Grace Helbig and Claire Thomas, Highball House is a Palm Springs vacation villa that offers an aura of luxury and style with great privacy, Tappan artwork, and new Joybird furnishings, all in a fantastic location. From its colorful Concrete Collaborative tile to the smoked glass mirrored bar, everything about this wonderful home will inspire you to want to curl up on the circle couch with a well-made cocktail in-hand.
Claire Thomas, designer:
“I have been a fan of Tappan's collection of artists for years now. The aesthetic is always thoughtful, beautiful, and modern. Mamrie and Grace's house had so much white space, that creating a special gallery moment with art seemed like the perfect direction.”
“The vision for Highball House is a 1967 Pan Am flight to Morocco with Barbara Eden as your flight attendant. So referencing a specific time period and color palette, and elegant with a bit of a wink. By incorporating gorgeous artwork, it raised the aesthetic of the house, and even though we have some colorful and whimsical moments, the art helps that feel purposeful and measured, rather than full blown kitsch.”
Grace Helbig:
“I love Marleigh Culver’s work. It’s abstract, curious and cool. It’s like a series of gorgeous rorschach tests that entertain the eyes and the psyche.”
“Partnering with Tappan Collective was a dream. They curate a beautiful mix of playful pieces that fit perfectly into the cheeky, cheerful aesthetic of the Highball House. They understood the assignment!”
Mamrie Hart:
“I am absolutely obsessed with Brian Merriam's photography. The style of our house is so funky and bright that I wouldn’t have thought landscape prints would work. But they actually tie in the existing colors. The sediment prints have pops of pinks and oranges… and really help ground the place. Ba da ting.”
“We know we wanted a large, wow factor piece upon entering the home and Marc‘s work does just that. It’s like a desolate campground on Tatooine. I love it because it is muted enough to where it doesn’t draw attention from the rest of the house but instead invite you in.... warms up your eyes' curiosity.”
