For Jereme and Shelby Mendez, home is where comfort and design ideals merge. The Californian creatives have created a space that could double as a furniture archive, filled with unique vintage and designer pieces from the works of Marcel Breuer, Charlotte Perriand and Le Corbusier, to name a few. A mix of styles from varying decades each item is a living piece of history, yet when curated together by the Mendez’s they create an inviting and warm space that feels like home. So much so, it’s the very spot the couple chose to say “I do.”

We asked Jereme and Shelby to invite us in for the latest installment of our 

 series—a look into our community’s favorite spaces, and the objects, people and moments that create them.

“We like to think of it as a retired architect’s home of collected items or a lived-in museum—except with warmer vibes, not cold.”

Do you remember that first piece, or first experience, that piqued your interest in design?

Growing up, neither of us had any of the pieces we own now around our households. I remember when I was younger I would draw out what my home would look like as an adult, and other times I would create mood boards of furniture from cut-outs of interior and art magazines I thought were cool. I still do that sometimes, except now on a more vast scale. When we look back and think about it, I guess the art of lifestyle and design has always been important to us both. I purchased my first Eames LCW chair in college spending everything I had in my account just so I could have a sliver of design history in my little room at the time. It was amazing.

It’s interesting, we often talk about how we didn't know each other as kids or before we were together, but we shared the same dream of wanting to live in a home that is exactly what we’re in now. It's humbling to know that what we have at the moment we’ve achieved together, and we continue to dream about what our next chapter looks like in our lives. In fact, just recently we thought about selling everything we own and moving to a little flat in Paris to start over, but who knows, we’ll let the universe decide that one for us.

20th Century design & architecture, for sure. Specifically European.

Favorite designer or architect throughout history?

Jean Prouvé. He never sacrificed design for function and used materials that are considered to be quite industrial, but also very elegant at the same time. We had the opportunity to see an insane collection of his work collected by the Patrick Seguin Gallery in Paris a few weeks ago. It was very inspiring.
