Patina over perfection
Brass that deepens, timber with grain and surfaces that become more convincing with time.

The point of view
IVV / Los AngelesBeautiful is not enough.
A room should have a memory.
Good interiors begin with function, proportion and an honest understanding of the people inside them. Character arrives through the next layer: patina, contrast, an unexpected object and one decision that changes the temperature of the room.
The house codes
A little more depth.
A little less obedience.
Luxury does not need to be polite or predictable. IVVONATE balances architectural clarity with material richness, collected character and one move with enough nerve to make the room memorable.
Collected, never themed
Art, objects and vintage references chosen for character—not coordinated to fill a space.
One decisive move
A saturated color, unexpected silhouette or shift in scale that changes the temperature.
Selected interior work
Rooms before rhetoric.
The work comes first. Each project is approached as its own interior story—responsive to the architecture, the client and the life already happening there.
HospitalityRedondo Beach, California
A neighborhood institution, reimagined after dark.
The Fox Den
The existing bar had history, regulars and a stubbornly recognizable identity. The redesign kept that memory intact while introducing richer timber, low pools of light and a more cinematic rhythm from entry to back bar.

Coastal, without the shorthand.
Coastal Residence
A light-filled home shaped through warm woods, sculptural silhouettes and collected details. The palette responds to the coast without relying on nautical gestures—quiet, tactile and relaxed, with enough contrast to hold its own.

ResidentialRancho Palos Verdes, California
A small footprint with a complete identity.
Hillside ADU
Designed as a true guest residence rather than an afterthought, the ADU uses daylight, continuous sightlines and a restrained natural palette to make compact rooms feel generous and self-contained.

Inside the work
Instinct, made
specific.
A strong room may feel inevitable when it is finished. Getting there is a deliberate process of observation, editing, testing and making every choice earn its place.
Collected, not coordinated.
Considered, not cautious.
The studio
Nathan Biggs.
Founder + designer.
IVVONATE is a Los Angeles interior design studio founded by Nathan Biggs. The practice is grounded in proportion, function and materiality, then sharpened by an instinct for atmosphere and the details people remember.
Nathan’s background in film and visual storytelling informs the way he frames a room, builds sequence and works with mood. That wider creative history remains an undercurrent; the interior is always the subject.
