Pacific Design Center kicks off its 40th anniversary with a vibrant Pacific Design Center’s WESTWEEK 2015 Spring Market -the West Coast’s definitive showcase for global design — 2015 line-up. For two days (Wednesday, March 25 and Thursday, March 26 from 9 a.m.-6 p.m.), more than 30 celebrated design thought-leaders, 15 media / industry partners and nearly 100 programs, events, keynotes and product introductions energize PDC’s Spring Market and Anniversary Year.
PDC’s growing cultural campus includes a robust arts program headlined by designLAb (owner and visionary Charles Cohen’s national arts program), which celebrates WESTWEEK with a site-specific commissioned installation by 2J that considers the history of Cesar Pelli/Gruen Associates’ groundbreaking vision for the PDC. Other Lobby exhibits include works by Won Ju Lim and Kenny Scharf’s Daisymobile (1975/2014). The public are invited to a reception on March 24 from 5pm - 9.30pm to view the galleries. As far as the rest of WESTWEEK, I have summarized below and would love to share a full press release so you can see all the happenings. Let me know if you’d like to cover/ attend any of the notable happenings. Best, Beth 310-850-2701
The two-day event provides a comprehensive series of informative presentations and engaging events. The 2015 year also commemorates PDC’s four decades of design leadership, serving as an iconic architectural landmark anchoring L.A.’s historic design district. A global audience —last year saw nearly 20,000 attendees— will discover nearly 100 showroom programs, open houses, receptions, new line introductions and top-notch educational programming delivered by the industry’s most celebrated A&D authorities including Alexa Hampton, David Hertz, India Hicks, Dakota Jackson, Suzanne Kasler, Christopher Kennedy, Richard Landry and Mary McDonald in conversation with editors from the nation’s leading publications.
