Enter-to-Win this striking Plywood Mobile from Vitra\, designed by Charles and Ray Eames. \nIn the early 1940s\, Charles and Ray Eames conducted a series of experiments for the purpose of refining their plywood moulding techniques. These investigations led to the creation of two objects whose biomorphic shapes are strongly reminiscent of Ray’s artwork and graphics. The Eameses hung them as mobiles from the ceiling of their Los Angeles apartment. \nEach Plywood Mobile consists of two abstract\, organically shaped plywood elements that playfully revolve around one another. \n\nThis Fresh Perks giveaway runs from July 1st at 9:00 am through July 31st at 5:00 pm.

This concept expands beyond the exploration of technological spectacle. Design Futurism is a solution-oriented exploration of human potential.In 2025\, LADF invites you to explore Design Futurism through various lenses of our collective human experiences. \nDesign informs every aspect of our present lives\, guiding us towards and through thoughtful experiences. The impact of forward thinking design is tangible in the smallest portions of our everyday practices through global experiences and products. \nWe’re gathering the misfits\, the dreamers\, and the radical thinkers who recognize design as a key to unlock the possibilities of an intentional future. Design Futurism is more than a concept; it’s a multidisciplinary call to action to explore connections between past\, present and the creation of an optimistic future.We’re inviting the LA community to\, to show up curious\, to experiment\, and to make connections between what is and what could be. \nJoin us to create a future where creativity meets purpose\, and design is the key to unlocking new possibilities. \n\nClick below for a full schedule of events and activities at Helms! \n\n \n \n \n \n \n HELMS EVENT SCHEDULE\n \n \n \n \n \n \n  \nVisit the LA Design Festival site for a list of events at all locations citywide. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n LA DESIGN FESTIVAL SITE URL:https://helmsdesigndistrict.com/event/los-angeles-design-festival-2025/ LOCATION:Helms Design District\, 8800 Venice Blvd.\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90034\, United States CATEGORIES:News ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://helmsdesigndistrict.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/LADF25_Header_RGB_1500px.jpg GEO:34.0306792;-118.3851538 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Helms Design District 8800 Venice Blvd. Los Angeles CA 90034 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=8800 Venice Blvd.:geo:-118.3851538,34.0306792 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250621T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250621T160000 DTSTAMP:20260426T115741 CREATED:20250501T205319Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250501T205319Z UID:10001956-1750503600-1750521600@helmsdesigndistrict.com SUMMARY:Join L.A.

This new publication from Timeless Edition takes you deep into the world behind the camera: the set\, the atmosphere\, and the many individuals — technicians\, casting director\, actors and non-actors alike — that accompanied or inspired Kroll throughout the shoot. More than a simple behind-the-scenes document\, HARDCORE also includes the photographer’s own reflections\, commentary and a recent interview he conducted with adult film actress Serena. The book also features a foreword from Paul Schrader accompanied by a rare text he penned in 1978 for a publishing project about the film that was never completed. Together\, these elements reveal a deeply personal and unexpectedly intimate perspective on the film and on the porn film industry at the end of the 1970s. \nIf you cannot attend and would like to purchase a SIGNED copy of Hardcore\, please place your order below. \nJoin Arcana on June 7th for good talk\, good books\, and free libations.

LGLA helmed the landscape restoration of the landmark Hindry House and recently completed the renovation of the landscape for a 1910 Sylvanus Marston Craftsman home\, both in the Prospect Park neighborhood of Pasadena\, California. LGLA has long promoted sustainable and regionally appropriate solutions to projects regardless of complexity or scale. Designs evolve from a respect for cultural and historical contexts and reflect the qualities of the site and client goals.

The talk will be followed by the chance to get your copy signed by Luisa herself! \nLuisa Opalesky (b. 1987) is an artist whose practice seeks to connect with all walks of life through photography\, dance\, and film. Originally from Philadelphia\, she earned a BFA in photography under the mentorship of George Pitts at Parsons New School for Design. She draws inspiration from her elders\, multicultural background\, glamour\, squalor\, going to the cinema three times a week\, and her home downtown in New York City. Her work is consistently characterized by its vibrant color\, hazard\, and comedic relief. \nBig City Nobody is Opalesky’s debut photography book. Published by Spotz Studios and featuring work created between 2020 and 2024\, the photographs in the book reveal glimpses of daily life\, vibrancy of nightlife\, and outtakes from assignments commissioned by the New York Times and Interview magazine. The collection unfolds with a flow reminiscent of walking crosstown caffeinated and immersed in the pulse of the city. The book includes writings by Alissa Bennett\, Susie Essman\, Daniel Arnold\, and Teardrop. \nIf you cannot attend and would like to purchase a SIGNED copy of Big City Nobody\, please place your order below. \nJoin Arcana on April 26th for good talk\, good books\, and free libations.

Sirkin regarding Markosian’s new Aperture monograph\, Father. \nFather is an intimate and engrossing diaristic portrayal of estrangement and reconnection\, recounted through documentary photographs\, family snapshots\, text\, and visual ephemera. It presents the photographer’s journey to another place and another time\, where Markosian attempts to piece together an image of a familiar stranger – her long-lost father. The book explores her father’s absence\, her reconciliation with him\, and the shared emptiness of their prolonged estrangement. The images\, made over the course of a decade\, take place in her father’s home in Armenia. In Markosian’s first monograph\, Santa Barbara (Aperture\, 2020)\, the photographer recreates the story of her family’s journey from post-Soviet Russia to the US in the 1990s. Father uses both documentary photographs and archives of objects\, letters\, and vernacular images to probe the fifteen years of absence and separation from the photographer’s childhood. In this voyage of self-discovery\, Markosian touchingly renders her longing for connection to a man she barely remembers and who asks her\, when she finds him\, “Why did it take you so long?” \nIf you cannot attend and would like to purchase a SIGNED copy of Father\, please place your order below. \nDiana Markosian is at the forefront of a new generation of photographers and directors\, pushing the boundaries of documentary storytelling. By encapsulating different styles and mediums\, Markosian has created a unique approach to image making. Her first monograph\, Santa Barbara\, was published by Aperture and selected as the top book of the year by MoMA and Time. Father\, was chosen as the photo book of the year by Le Monde. Markosian holds a masters degree from Columbia University\, is a contributor to Vanity Fair\, Vogue and The New Yorker \,and has exhibited in leading museums worldwide\, including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art\, the International Center of Photography in New York\, and the National Portrait Gallery in London. \nGabrielle Sirkin is a Los Angeles-based photography director and creative producer specializing in commercial and editorial photography driven to create compelling visual storytelling.
