Livable Art

I’ve always been involved in the world of art’, says Pearl Maremont.  With over 15 years in interior designs and an education in fine arts, Maremont bought, decorated and sold several homes in Connecticut, New York and California. “As I finished each home, various acquaintances would ask me to design their homes. By word of mouth I created my interior design business, You could say I entered the industry by accident.

Six years ago, Maremont applied her love and knowledge of American Art when opening her shop on Santa Monica upscale Montana Avenue.  “I’ve always believed that decorative arts have an appreciable value similar to fine art, whether it’s hand-painted furniture, a table lamp, tableware or accessories,” she explains.

As a result each artist specialized in a different arena of home furnishings. “I wanted to take home furnishings into a different level.  Customers have a choice.   They can purchase a lamp from a department store or they can own something that is both functional and a unique work of art.”  It’s also part of a growing trend in American Interior: filing homes with furniture and home accessories that are handcrafted and unique.

Raw Style features over 300 American Artisans each specializing in a different kind of “Art Furniture.” The result is a bright, eclectic mix, of one-of-a-kind livable art.  Owner Pearl Maremont describes her store as “an exercise in anti-style.” “I believe in going against what is totally expected, combining two conflicting element while still creating balance.

When you enter Raw Style you understand exactly what she means.  It’s a mix of colors and shapes, and as in nature it works together in perfect harmony.  It is the place one can find the special “Furniture Art” that completes a room.  The store gallery changes daily because most of the items are one of a kind and are sold off the floor.  We custom order items for clients when an item has been sold. Raw Style is a whimsical unexpected experience.
