Pamela Anderson’s New Furniture Collection Reflects Her “Very Analog Way of Life” Pamela Anderson, the actress known for her iconic roles in Showgirls and Naked Gun, is expanding her creative ventures with a new furniture and decor collection inspired by her lifestyle and heritage. The collaboration with LA-based lifestyle brand Olive Ateliers, titled The Sentimentalist, launches on April 8 and features over 40 pieces designed to embody Anderson’s “very analog way of life.” The collection includes rattan furniture, a teak dining table, and baskets, all rooted in her love for natural materials and her family’s history. Anderson’s design philosophy is deeply personal, shaped by her upbringing and the influence of her late grandmother. The collection draws from her restored home in Arcady, British Columbia, where she spent her childhood. “We started the collaboration by really looking at my home and all these incredible wicker pieces I’ve kept or things my grandmother left behind,” she explains. These items, filled with sentimental value, reflect her belief in sustainability and the idea of giving objects a second life. “I have such a soft spot for these things—and so many memories,” she says. The collection’s name, The Sentimentalist, captures Anderson’s approach to design, which prioritizes warmth, comfort, and connection over sleek modernity. “It’s about how something will live: a chair you return to each morning, a sofa that holds you,” says Kendall Knox, one of Olive Ateliers’ cofounders. The pieces are crafted to blend seamlessly into both indoor and outdoor spaces, emphasizing their versatility. Rattan, a material that patinates over time, is central to the line, symbolizing Anderson’s appreciation for natural textures and imperfections.#pamela_anderson #olive_ateliers #south_of_france #arcady_british_columbia #kendall_knox

Pamela Anderson's Outdoor Living Philosophy and Collaboration with Olive Ateliers Pamela Anderson’s approach to outdoor living is deeply rooted in her personal history and aesthetic sensibilities. The actress, known for her iconic roles in television and film, has spent recent years restoring her grandmother’s waterfront property on Vancouver Island, a project she began in the late 1990s. “She had a bit of a wild taste,” Anderson recalls, referring to her late grandmother’s eclectic garden, which featured vibrant coral geraniums and quince roses. These elements, she explains, have shaped her own design philosophy, blending natural textures and colors with a sense of effortless charm. Anderson’s collaboration with Olive Ateliers, a French design brand, reflects this lived-in aesthetic. The collection, inspired by her years of travel and time spent in the South of France, emphasizes refinement over reinvention. She describes the line as a distillation of her lifelong approach to living, shaped by her grandmother’s garden and the vibrant markets of Provence, where she sourced wicker, ironstone, and oil paintings. The collection is designed for alfresco living, offering pieces that seamlessly transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. When it comes to entertaining outdoors, Anderson advocates for simplicity and abundance. She often sets tables with edible centerpieces, such as whole cauliflowers and bunches of carrots, drawing inspiration from the casual, slightly undone tables of the South of France. “It’s about creating a space that feels lived-in,” she explains, emphasizing that a slightly wrinkled linen tablecloth or loosely gathered flowers can create a more inviting atmosphere than overly polished arrangements. Wicker is another key element in Anderson’s design repertoire.#pamela_anderson #olive_ateliers #vancouver_island #south_of_france #st_tropez
