Nicole Hollis: From Interior Design to Psychedelic Dinner Parties

Nicole Hollis, an interior designer based in San Francisco, has ventured into hospitality and product design by renovating a home originally designed by Mickey Muennig and creating environments for Rosewood Hotels. She has published two books, introduced a homeware line, and plans to unveil a decanter and glass collection with Saint Louis this fall. In a conversation with Wallpaper*, she shares her laid-back approach to hosting, inspired by her time in Hawaii, which includes pre-mixed cocktails, charcuterie boards, and straightforward dishes like grilled fish or chicken. For dessert, she offers artisan ice cream from Smitten. Her music selection features Britpop and The Strokes, and her ideal guests would be Louis Theroux and Robin Carhart-Harris. Hollis suggests avoiding strict end times, focusing instead on flowing drinks and lively discussions.
