LCDQ Legends

The La Cienega Design Quarter – bordered by Santa Monica Blvd, Melrose Ave and La Cienega Blvd – has long been a destination for sophisticated shoppers and professionals looking for top quality home design.  Legendsis a three-day mix of keynotes, panel discussions, open houses, trunk shows, cocktail parties, exhibitions, author events, special appearances and window displays bringing together the who’s who and everyone else in the Los Angeles design world.

For this year’s theme, “Legendary: Icons of Design” – a revival of the very first Legends theme in 2009 – 40 internationally-renowned design stars will present their homages to legendary interior designers of the past. You can read more about this year’s program, including living legends and honorees Bunny Williams and Susan Rheinstein, here and see the detailed schedule of events here.

Suggested Event: “Peter Shire: Good Taste.” Farrow & Ball is hosting an exhibition curated by FURTH YASHAR & entitled Peter Shire: Good Taste, on view from May 7th – 11th at the Farrow & Ball La Cienega Flagship. The show presents a rare, behind-the-scenes glimpse into Shire’s active L.A. studio, featuring a cross section of works in medium, scale and color. The exhibition celebrates color as a tool for pushing design boundaries, serving as a catalyst for dismantling the divide between sculpture and object and invites viewers to question their own ideas of what defines art and design and what constitutes “good taste.” Shire has been making a comeback in recent years; check out DnA’s profile here.
