Los Angeles Design Festival > June 14 through June 30



It's that time of year again! To help combat that pesky June gloom, the Los Angeles Design Festival lights up the city this month, with events, parties, tours, panels, and general design goodness taking over the town from June 14 to June 30. This year de LaB is once again thrilled to be a partner, and we're happily pointing the way to several festival events which feature de LaB friends and collaborators. Click the links for more information, or check the Los Angeles Design Festival website for the full schedule. Happy festivaling!
