Pamela Anderson likes to save things. Not too many things (\u201cI don\u2019t hoard,\u201d she says), or even the fanciest things. But she holds on to the meaningful stuff. \u201cThe other day I had a leak in the roof,\u201d she says, sitting in the office of a furniture showroom in downtown Los Angeles. \u201cAnd so I went up there and I looked in the loft, and I had all these crates of baby clothes. And so I took all the baby clothes out, washed them, and put all the little outfits together. And I\u2019ve been just sending the kids pictures of their baby clothes. They\u2019re like, Mom<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cUnfortunately,\u201d she says, laughing, \u201cI am very sentimental.\u201d<\/p>\n I am interviewing the luminous Anderson in honor of that sentimentality: she has just launched a line of furniture and homewares with the antique-inspired LA studio Olive Ateliers<\/a>, appropriately titled The Sentimentalist<\/a>. The name is of a piece with much of her output: her bestselling 2023 memoir was called Love, Pamela<\/em>; the Netflix documentary about her life from the same year is Pamela, A Love Story<\/em>. \u201cI\u2019m a romantic,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n \u201cBut this is the most romantic time of my life, funny enough,\u201d she continues. \u201cIt\u2019s just really having a relationship with yourself and making yourself happy. And that\u2019s the key to it all. I should have learned that earlier!\u201d<\/p>\n Photo: Courtesy of Olive Ateliers<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n Photo: Courtesy of Olive Ateliers<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n Anderson is<\/em> romantic (consider her Substack<\/a>, where she recently opined on \u201cthe art of feeling everything\u201d) and so is her furniture, a series of 40 pieces primarily made of wicker, which she collects. The pieces all beg to be laden with piles of fresh-cut flowers and hanging wet bathing suits, the sorts of comfy indoor-outdoor seating that you could flop onto after a day in the garden. The collection even includes dog beds, in honor of her pets Lucky, Lola, and Zou Bisou Bisou (in the past, dissatisfied with the aesthetics of dog beds on the market, she got James Perse to make them for her, custom). It\u2019s all inspired by years spent in Malibu (where Vivienne Westwood used to stay over on a blow-up mattress<\/a>), the South of France (\u201cIt\u2019s so bohemian,\u201d she says), and her tiny hometown of Ladysmith, BC, on Vancouver Island, where she now lives on a property inherited from her grandmother.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve always been a decorator,\u201d says Anderson. \u201cAnd my kids grew up on white denim and lots of flowers and lots of wicker while they were skateboarding, surfing\u2014being wild boys raised by wolves, basically.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"Image](\"https:\/\/assets.vogue.com\/photos\/69d811503d15426c09be9a2f\/3:4\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/OA_SPRING26_CAMPAIGN_PDP1236_Edit%25201.jpg\"\/)
