A Look at Amanda Chantal Bacon’s Home
Photographed by Dominique Vorillon1/9Located up a winding drive in Rustic Canyon, on the western fringe of Los Angeles, Bacon’s sprawling mid-century house features a 1983 Frank Gehry addition that looms over the front steps. The windows of the second-story room frame the rise and fall of the moon.

The unexpected mix of furnishings—a signature of Bacon’s design sensibility—includes mid-century lamps, masculine tufted ottomans for lounging, and a vintage rhino sculpture by the fireplace.
Photographed by Dominique Vorillon5/9Apart from the kitchen’s Saarinen table, set on a striped Moroccan rug, and a nearby marble-top counter, there is no proper dining area in the house—a conscious decision by Bacon, in keeping with her plan to foster a more relaxed style of entertaining.
