While he may be the newly minted star of , on Netflix, interior designer and television personality Jeremiah Brent is no stranger to the spotlight. Since launching his full-service Los Angeles– and New York City–based firm, (JBD), in 2012, Brent has built a name for himself as an arbiter of California cool, crafting interiors from Brentwood to Palm Beach that reflect an emotional sensitivity and curatorial ambition.
He designed the French-inspired restaurant Juliet, in Culver City, California, next to his cult lifestyle brand and retail space , creating in the process a certified JBD destination that can satiate appetites of every kind. “I want people to come in and have an emotional reaction to the things we’re selling,” he told ELLE DECOR in 2022. His dynamic collaborations with brands like Paper Source and California Closets speak to his elevated yet approachable aesthetic as much as his media savvy.
A recent Brent project in Montecito, California, which was a collaboration with his partner in life and work, Nate Berkus, is featured in our Summer 2024 issue, while the couple’s in Montauk, New York, a casual and comely retreat, appeared in print in October 2020.
His room for this year’s Kips Bay Decorator Show House, “,” was one of the highlights of the fundraiser this year. Brent’s first book, , was released earlier this year and focuses on the special pieces that give our spaces meaning.
