The Scale Collective Brings Tactile Warmth to This Beverly Hills Penthouse

3:31 PM ,

Perched 39 floors above LA, with spectacular views of the local country club and Pacific Ocean beyond it, this Beverly Hills Penthouse by The Scale Collective prioritizes sanctuary over spectacle through deliberate material choices. Beauty entrepreneur Darya Pishevar cited Pierre Paulin’s Pumpkin Chair as an early reference – a telling detail that moved the project away from typical high-rise polish toward something more grounded.

A round table with two chairs sits by large glass doors overlooking a balcony with a scenic view of hills. A bar cart and potted plants are visible in the bright, modern room.

Sara Alexander, of The Scale Collective, responded by anchoring the design around two vintage pieces discovered in Los Angeles showrooms – the Little Petra Chair in shearling and the Marenco Sofa.

Where glass towers typically amplify their verticality through reflective surfaces and cool tones, this interior pulls in the opposite direction with shearling, hair-on-hide, boucle, and mohair – fibers that absorb light and sound while softening edges. The walnut and oak joinery introduces structural warmth without the heaviness of traditional paneling. This layering technique creates an ethereal quality, though the effect depends less on airiness than on how these materials modulate the intense California light beaming through floor-to-ceiling windows.

Custom collaborations with Los Angeles showrooms including The Future Perfect, Stahl & Band, and Garde allowed Alexander to calibrate proportions specifically for the volume of the space. The HAOS 20.01 armchair – one of only three produced in leather globally – exemplifies this approach, its rarity less important than how its particular stance and upholstery texture contribute to the overall composition. Similarly, the bespoke Apparatus chandelier addressed the apartment’s limited electrical infrastructure while maintaining the refined restraint that characterizes the project.
