THE IDEA THAT INTERIOR DESIGN can provide both aesthetic beauty and everyday versatility is at the heart of Perspective Los Angeles, part of a series of designer showcases addressing varying perspectives on high-end design. Cosponsored by Sunbrella® and Architectural Digest, the event featured five full-scale vignettes carefully crafted by interior designers from across the country.

From a modern Turkish pavilion to a stylishly relaxed lounge to a tribute to the classic elegance of the open-air Round Hill in Jamaica, the diverse vignettes were showcased at The Washbow (Culver City, California). Gina Wicker, creative director for Sunbrella, says, “Culver City is part nostalgic and part trendy: elements that are often blended together in high-end design. We’re excited to take our Perspective series to the West Coast, a hub for some of the country’s best interior designers and home to many showrooms that carry our high-end upholstery collections.” A dozen interior designers and design teams submitted renderings of rooms that exclusively feature Sunbrella fabrics available to the design trade. Five of the vignettes were built and unveiled at The Washbow during the Perspective Los Angeles event on October 6 and 7. All other submitted designs were displayed in the surrounding design gallery, highlighting each designer’s unique perspective on the role of Sunbrella fabrics in high-end interior design.

Giulio Capua, the magazine’s publisher and chief revenue officer, says, “Architectural Digest is thrilled to partner with Sunbrella to showcase the company’s luxurious, versatile fabrics and how they can be used in such creative ways. The 12 designers invited to participate in Perspective Los Angeles are a diverse mix of talents, and we were happy to help foster these designer connections.”
