JULY 2018 RETAILOBSERVER.COM 13 RO 100,000 LEGOS. The actual Bridge House will be a 200-foot structure that cradles a brook in Los Angeles, and is part of a ten year collaboration between Dwell and DBA. The Modenus Design Trail, by Design Milk & Modenus, offered off- site self-guided tours for design enthusiasts through Los Angeles, covering the coveted Melrose and La Cienega design district in West Hollywood. The trail included shops, showrooms and individual artisans and artist studios, all listed in a specially design Trail Map. To kick off and celebrate the fair, Dwell on Design threw an opening night party at The Row @DTLA, a hip enclave of design shops and restaurants. At Meet the Architects Night, attendees were able to hear the inspiration, challenges and creative processes from the architects who designed the featured homes of the Home Tours, with a highly-attended cocktail reception at the Pacific Design Center. The home tours on Saturday and Sunday saw record attendance and provided visitors exclusive inside access to some of the most remarkable modern homes found throughout Los Angeles. One-on-one consultations were a hit with major home design source house and landscape consultations. L.A.-based attendees received design and landscape advice for their homes and garden projects — free of charge — from the top brands throughout the weekend.
