Hospitality designer Kirk Nix of KNA Design Studio teamed up with Robert Allen Contract to design Beverly Boulevard, a high-performance upholstery line that features jewel-tone velvets, metallic accents, and geometric motifs. The designs were inspired by reptile skins, ancient Japanese kimonos, and the designer’s arcane reflections on the infinite revolution of time and the digital realm versus the real. Nix channeled his contemplations into nine color palettes and 20 designs, resulting in patterns with names such as “Rockstar,” “VIP,” and “No Photos Please.” The collection includes upholstery fabrics, two drapery sheets, and a coordinated outdoor Sunbrella Contract fabric.
