Goldwyn Guest House by The Future Perfect is a residential gallery space located in Los Angeles within a historic mansion originally built in 1916. The property, once owned by film producer Samuel Goldwyn, has been reworked to function as both a private residence and a showroom for collectible design. The Future Perfect uses the house to present rotating exhibitions of furniture, lighting, and objects across domestic interiors rather than traditional gallery spaces. Rooms throughout the home are staged with contemporary works by international designers and artists.
The house retains original architectural elements including plaster walls, decorative moldings, and a multi-room layout organized across indoor and outdoor spaces. Interiors are continuously updated with new furniture, lighting, textiles, and artworks that replace previous installations. Exhibition pieces are distributed across living rooms, bedrooms, and outdoor areas, creating a changing arrangement of objects within the residential setting.
