AD100 / 2022: Oliver M. Furth Design & Decoration

Furth is a true son of Los Angeles, deeply immersed in its rich design history, from the city’s toniest mansions to the studios of the trailblazing artists and artisans who have colonized L.A.’s scrappy Eastside. Furth honed his skills working in the offices of some of Southern California’s most celebrated interior designers, including the late Greg Jordan, Michael S. Smith, Marc Appleton, Martyn Lawrence Bullard, and Trip Haenisch. 

His signature approach—a mix of freewheeling creativity and scholarly historicism—has been applied to a dizzying array of homes for Hollywood heavyweights on the order of media magnate Arianna Huffington, United Talent Agency cofounder Jim Berkus, and actor Albert Brooks and his wife, Kimberly.
