Coco Greenblum Talks a Jacques Jarrige Ring, Railings + More

Decoration was part of it Coco Greenblum’s life for as long as he can remember. Her grandfather owned furniture showrooms in New Mexico. Her Nana was an interior designer whose Dallas home shaped her own aesthetic. “I lived with her in different places growing up and spent hours absorbing the fabrics, art and objects,” says Greenblum. “The way he layered antiques with contemporary pieces was thoughtful and effortless, and that juxtaposition has profoundly influenced the way I approach design today.”

Originally from Austin, Texas, Greenbloom soon ventured to California. He worked for companies in San Francisco and eventually settled in Los Angeles. The creative later went on to lead Jeremiah Brent Design’s West Coast studio, overseeing a wide range of projects.

In 2025, Greenblum founded her eponymous company, where a collaborative process ensures that each interior is personal and includes special, curated objects. He lets each project evolve organically and believes that spaces should evolve with the people in them. The finished rooms are authentic, customizable and timeless.

Greenblum’s work involves more than just arranging furniture—she combines stories and craftsmanship that feel personal to the client. Additionally, she enjoys sourcing or commissioning pieces that reflect these narratives and bring soul to a place.

She has an appreciation for materials, one stone in particular, and when she visited Carrara, Italy, she changed her perspective even more. “I’ve always been fascinated by veining and the way marble tells a story,” notes Greenblum. “Each slab feels like a work of art created by the Earth, completely unique and inherently beautiful.”

Today, Coco Greenblum is with us Friday five!

1. Bathroom

Bathing in Chapultepec Castle in Mexico City stopped me. The palette is incredibly soothing and somehow still feels fresh despite being completely untouched. The mirror reflection adds that unexpected layer of depth that makes the space feel almost cinematic.

2. Back stairs

The back stairs at Salon 94 in New York is one such moment. Architecture as art, they offer drama and order with effortless confidence. There is a beautiful tension between timeless and contemporary patterns.

3. PRB collection

The PRB collection and home in High Point, NC changed my brain. Every piece is antique, but the space is incredibly current. The collection is multi-layered and deeply personal, you can feel the history and soul each piece carries with it.

4. Stair railings

I took this picture while wandering around Charleston, SC last year. The tones are so vibrant, despite the building clearly showing its age. The detail of the stair railing is particularly beautiful, a reminder that craftsmanship is what makes a space memorable.

5. Jacques Jarrige ring

I recently purchased this ring from Valeria Goodman Gallery. Jacques Jarrige is known for his large-scale sculptures, but he developed a small line of jewelry that echoes the same fluid forms. You feel like you are wearing a work of art, sculpture and jewelry in one!

Donna Christina
A historic mid-century home was renovated and renovated for a young, vibrant couple in Los Angeles. Many original details were retained to maintain the integrity of the architecture. The palette references classic tones and textures from the era, while incorporating contemporary pieces. The majority of the furniture and lighting are antiques, collected from local dealers. The house has many important works of art, which offset the vintage profiles throughout.

16th Street
We moved from San Francisco to Los Angeles with no furniture as we wanted to start fresh in our new city. In no time at all, we moved directly from our honeymoon to our new home. The palette consists of rich neutrals and layered textures to create a truly serene space. Objects and decor found at flea markets and throughout our travels.

Love Chalet
Bumble’s winter Aspen pop-up required a three-week turnaround to open for the holiday season. The long narrow spaces were tied together with the signature boards and trim painted Bumble yellow. The main entrance was designed to incorporate a refined beehive, with the antique case, pedestals, Murano glass pendant and ceiling detail all textured to mimic a beehive-like pattern. The bar also features an antique case from the 1970s, paired with lounge chairs, a Nordic Knots area rug and an inset upholstered cove ceiling.

Buena Vista Bath
A playful nod to ’80s glamour, the master bathroom balances bold pattern and polish with a distinct personal story. The House of Hackney wallpaper—selected in London during a visit to the brand’s headquarters with the client—brings a sense of history, romance and status to the space.

Forest Trail
Designed for Shannon Ritchey, founder of Evlo Fitness, this Austin-based home was envisioned as a warm, functional retreat for her growing family. Working closely with the client throughout the process, our design prioritizes comfort, flow and longevity, creating spaces that feel elevated and deeply sustainable.
