Palm Springs Modernism

As some of you might know, this past February On Madison participated in our very first Palm Springs Modernism Show & Sale.

Along with 85 other premiere national and international exhibitors, the Modernism show and sale is an annual affair that boasts a large collection of vintage furnishings, fine art, lighting, sculpture, and more. It was definitely no easy feat as we had to truck over a boat load of On Madison furnishings and accessories from Pasadena all the way down to sunny Palm Springs. Of course first we set ourselves up at the gorgeous L’Horizon Resort Palm Springs:

Once everything was in order, we waited our turn to off-load all our items from the truck into the Palm Springs Convention Center. Then it was straight to work, setting up our 20’x24′ booth in time for the preview gala & cocktail party that Friday evening.

We were very happy with the results! For those of you who were unable to attend the show, here are a few behind the scenes shots from our booth, Space 804:

The show ran for the entire weekend, from Saturday-Monday February 17-19 and we enjoyed mingling with guests and fellow exhibitors and meeting so many new faces.

Special thanks to In Collect for the photographs of the festivities and for capturing a few images of our beautiful booth:

Show-Off

If it’s springtime, that means it’s time for the annual Pasadena Showcase House of Design. A rite of passage for decades, flocks of designers descend upon a house in need of serious rehab and transform it into the stuff that dreams are made of (and all for a good cause, as they raise money for causes such as arts sand music education). The Kips Bay Decorator Showhouse and the San Francisco Showcase House are some top draw venues that attract A-list designers and, in turn, raise millions for charity. With that in mind (and the fact that I attended Pasadena Showcase today), On Madison has assembled a collage of favorite rooms to inspire you to go create something beautiful. Click through each image for the source and see more inspiration at our Madison Modern blog Pinterest board.

 And to celebrate impeccable design, the annual Legends of La Cienega event will be hosted by the La Cienega Design Quarter. A 3 day long event and gala featuring some of the most prominent designers, this year’s theme is “Where Muses Dwell”. Designers are selected to transform the windows of participating shops, galleries, and showrooms along La Cienega drive. On Madison is proud Geoffrey De Sousa Interior Design selected a pair of vintage parchment & brass lamps from our store for his beautiful window display at Tufenkian Carpets.
