If the fact that we're taking the month of November off is leaving a giant, gaping hole in your architecture and design calendar, have no fear. There are some great events coming up this month organized and hosted by Friends of de LaB we'd like to alert you to:
- Our October de LaB hosts at Intelligentsia are planning a very special night at their Pasadena location on Friday, November 19th. The good people at our favorite coffee bar are hosting an 8-course tasting menu dinner paired with coffee from progressive farm Finca Santuario. The food will be prepared by Heirloom LA’s Matthew Poley with wine by Matthew Kaner of Bar Covel. More details over here.
- Another previous de LaB host, our friends at Neutra's VDL Research House II are planning a site-specific installation by Mexico City-based artist Santiago Borja. The artist, with a team of expert weavers from Chiapas, Mexico will stage an architectural intervention, turning the house into a temporary functional textile loom. The exhibition opens Nov 17th and runs until Dec 22nd. More info on Borja and the project here.
- Have we mentioned we love pie? And the good people at Machine Project? Two great tastes that taste great together! Hammer designer Julia Luke and baker/For Your Art wonder woman Sarah Williams are hosting a pop-up pie shop at Machine Project on Nov 18th from 7-10pm. The two are hosting a complementary tasting and are selling DIY "pie kits" featuring featuring a jar of home made filling in one of 3 seasonal filling flavors. Even better, all proceeds will be donated to the LA Food Bank.
