Pia Whitesell unveils Macabalm's chic office & $17.5k coffee machine
Pia Whitesell reveals Macabalm's luxurious office HQ

Former Home and Away actress Pia Whitesell has offered her social media followers an exclusive peek inside the stylish headquarters of her successful beauty venture, Macabalm. The 42-year-old entrepreneur, who launched the cult macadamia balm in 2020, shared the rare glimpse via her Instagram Stories on Wednesday evening.

A Minimalist and Luxurious Workspace

The office space embodies a sleek, minimalist aesthetic defined by neutral tones and elegantly curved furniture. An oval wooden desk serves as the room's centrepiece, adorned with a modern computer and a large matte black vase overflowing with white flowers. Behind it, built-in wooden shelving displays a meticulously arranged collection of skincare products, books, and decorative objects.

Adding to the luxurious feel, a plush cream sofa with oversized cushions occupies one side of the room. The entire space is tied together with textured rugs, warm timber finishes, and soft ambient lighting, which includes a statement sculptural pendant lamp. Never one to hide her refined taste, Pia strategically placed her Celine handbag on a grey ottoman in the centre of the shot, captioning the image, 'Macabalm HQ. So many awesome things coming.'

The Ultimate Office Kitchenette

In a subsequent story, Whitesell zoomed in on her office's kitchen area, which boasts an extraordinary appliance. The focal point is a limited edition coffee machine valued at a staggering $17,500. She simply labelled the close-up 'Office station', accompanied by a brown heart and a coffee cup emoji, letting the luxury item speak for itself.

Life in a $57 Million Holmby Hills Mansion

This office reveal follows recent social media posts where Pia showcased aspects of the $57 million Mediterranean-style mansion she shares with her husband, influential Hollywood figure Patrick Whitesell, in Los Angeles. The property, located in the exclusive Holmby Hills area near Bel Air, underwent significant renovations spearheaded by top Hollywood designer Clint Nicholas Studio.

Highlights of their palatial home include a fully-stocked, underlit bar manned by Patrick, a wood and stone spiral staircase, a terraced patio, a home cinema, and eight bedrooms. One particularly unique feature is the formal dining room's lighting fixture, which resembles a cluster of 'sausage' balloons. The estate, spanning approximately 19,000 square feet, also boasts a pool, four powder rooms, and a separate guest house.

Pia and Patrick, the executive chairman of Endeavor talent agency, married in a private ceremony in 2021 and shortly after began transforming their lavish property into a personalised sanctuary, all while sharing glimpses of their enviable lifestyle with fans online.
