Architectural Digest Greenroom at the 81st Annual Academy Awards® FACT SHEET

For this year’s Architectural Digest Greenroom at the Oscars®, AD100 designer Stephen Shadley looks to the timelessly chic tone of the 1970s. Inspired by Hollywood film sets of the era, this “Seventies Modern” interpretation melds clean lines with a monochromatic color palette and sheer touches for a cool, calm backstage backdrop for the night’s honorees.

Recently featured: Architectural Digest, Elle Decoration & Coastal Living. 

This is the seventh consecutive year Architectural Digest has created the greenroom for the Oscars. Over that time, the magazine has reinvented the notion of this exclusive backstage oasis, creating a high-design space befitting the evening’s A-list winners and presenters.

For the first time, this year’s Architectural Digest Greenroom expanded to include a new garden-inspired space that actually sits on the loading dock ... though you’d never know! With the new room, the space is now 920 square feet in size!

Principal furniture was found through Baker, including...

A custom sofa that is 11 feet in length, reminiscent of the 70’s stretch style

Garden seats from a new collection that recreates works by the legendary Los Angeles design icon Tony Duquette

A vintage brass and lacquered table circa 1960

Where are we? A panoramic sweep of Los Angeles-at-night from atop Mulholland Drive sets room’s the glamorous mood. The vista includes 20th Century Fox, the movie studio where Shadley began his career as a scenic artist.

A custom quartz bar is built into the room, created with CaesarStone’s Concetto in hematite, a natural stone with black-and-silver deposits imported from Israel. In total, the bar weighs 1,100 pounds! It will take a crew of 8 and a forklift to put it in the AD Greenroom.

Fitting for the theme, the area rug is dubbed Mama Mia: an updated take on the shag rug by Karastan. The rug is crafted from SmartStrand 3GT Sorona, a new generation of carpet fiber engineered for outstanding stain resistance with softness.

The wallcovering is actually a favorite silk fabric of Shadley’s found at Kneedler|Fauchere Imports that has been paper-backed for wall usage.

Shadley shopped around town for vintage furniture and accessories, using rare antique dealers such as Fat Chance, NOHO Modern and Outside Downtown.
