Ventura

About Ventura

Ventura was established in 2010 by visionary collector Julio Rodrigues and takes its name from his mother's maiden name. Located in the Racquet Club Center at 2500 N Palm Canyon Drive, Ventura offers a uniquely broad aesthetic scope, showcasing items from the turn of the century through the present day. The store specializes in Jugendstil, Bauhaus, Art Deco, iconic 1950s–60s lighting, and California artist works.

What Makes Them Special

What sets Ventura apart from other Palm Springs shops is its remarkable range of design movements under one roof. Rather than focusing exclusively on mid-century modern, Rodrigues curates an eclectic mix of art nouveau, folk art, arts and crafts, Bauhaus, and art deco alongside classic mid-century pieces. The store frequently features an outstanding selection of period art, including ceramics, canvas works, and one-of-a-kind sculptural objects that transcend any single era.
