This week, actors, designers and cultural tastemakers alike flocked to the streets of Sunset Boulevard for a buzzing Oscars week celebration at the Kiosk-o-Thèque, Arman Naféei’s eccentric cultural hub. Naféei, founder of the Are We On Air? podcast and former Directeur d’Ambiance at Chateau Marmont, enchanted guests with the same captivating experience he delivers in his podcast—partygoers socialized curbside at the Kiosk-o-Thèque before being whisked away to an invite-only after party at the iconic Bar Marmont down the street. 

Attendees, among the likes of Lily Rose Depp and Marta Pozzan, toasted the re-release of “Hollywood Handbook” by André Balazs, a classic on Hollywood history narrated by the prominent guests who graced the Chateau Marmont over its 100-year existence. The book was celebrated at the heart of its narrative, Bar Marmont, into the early hours of the morning, with music by Arman, Acyde and Alessandro Francalanci.

The evening also commemorated the one year anniversary of the Kiosk-o-Thèque, with an exclusive launch of new merch from Chateau Marmont and Are We On Air? The space, best described as newsstand meets bookstore meets record store meets art gallery meets recording studio, was packed full of the creatives and luminaries that characterize Are We on Air?, the Chateau Marmont and Los Angeles as a whole.
