Want to know what Kelly Wearstler is up to next? Just look for clues on her Instagram. In January, she accessorized a Vetements skirt with a welding helmet during a
visit to a Los Angeles metal fabrication shop near her studio. A few weeks later, she perched atop a chunky, terra-cotta-colored credenza in her hangar of a furniture warehouse in AC/DC-themed thigh-high boots, no less.
And sure enough, fashion, textures, and unexpected (but very Wearstlerian) graphic flourishes sum up the all-star interior designer’s 2021 home collection, unveiled exclusively to ELLE DECOR today. Called Transcendence, the new line of some 80 items including lighting, furniture, and accessories seeks to celebrate materials and capture a prevailing sense of optimism.
