Well, this weekend is off to a DESIGN filled start.  I’m headed off to downtown LA in a bit to check out Dwell on Design event at the convention center.  Then saturday will be back DTLA taking the family to Parachute Market.

From the people who brought us STOREFRONT LA and A Current Affair –  PARACHUTE MARKET  “is a quarterly design show for artists and designers to present their work in a thematic venue, chosen for its commonality and curatorial integrity. ” This weekend, for their Summer 2013 show, the theme is “Psychedelic Summer”, referencing post-modern design birthed via psychedelic culture. The market features furniture and object design, fine art, sculpture, vintage clothing, vintage furniture, fashion design, music, and the culinary arts, all cradled together under the theme of the season.~standardculture
