The Founders of the Kardashian-Jenners’ Favorite Decor Brand Talk All Things Olive Ateliers
We've truly never seen a decor brand quite like Los Angeles-based Olive Ateliers.
Established in 2021 by Kendall Knox, Ben Knox and Laura Sotelo, the unique brand focuses as much on furniture as it does creating experiences and lifestyles, selling only found objects and unusual one-off pieces that you simply won't find anywhere else. Every item they sell is intentionally sourced from around the world, whether it's from Turkey, India, Indonesia, Morocco, Greece, France or elsewhere, and you can always count on them being the real deal. There's a good reason, after all, that Kris and Kendall Jenner, as well as Kim Kardashian, are fully obsessed and posting Olive Ateliers all over social media. Ahead of the brand's next big drop, our host and producer Sienna Leone had the chance to chat with co-founders Kendall Knox and Laura Sotelo to learn more about Olive Ateliers—and some of the big things they have in store next. Just keep scrolling to read the full interview.
Sienna Leone: Tell me about this last drop!
Kendall Knox & Laura Sotelo: Every drop is quite unique since the items we supply are antiques, vintage and one-of-a-kind pieces imported from all over the world. We restock the atelier in between our bi-weekly drops with new pieces. For all the details on how our drops work, please visit our site HERE.
