Opening Reception Tuesday March 24 500-930 PMOn view through July 31
Pacific Design Center celebrates its 40th year with a site-specific commissioned installation in the Blue Lobby by 2J (sculptor Justin Beal and painter Jesse Willenbring) that considers the history of Cesar PelliGruen Associatesrsquo groundbreaking design for the Pacific Design Center as well as the buildingrsquos function within the daily commerce of design Two other exhibits in the Lobby refer to the aesthetics of the Pacific Design Center as an iconic urban presence an installation by Won Ju Lim and in the Green Lobby Kenny Scharfrsquos Daisymobile (19752014) a Pontiac automobile the artist re-interpreted in terms of his iconic exuberant style
2J2JPDC a site-specific installation by 2J (sculptor Justin Beal and painter Jesse Willenbring) considers the history of Cesar PelliGruen Associatesrsquo groundbreaking design for the Pacific Design Center as well as the buildingrsquos function within the daily commerce of design
The focal point of the exhibition is an existing system of 2J walls and tables that use vertical and horizontal glass planes that divide the space into layers of superimposed and overlapping imagery The graphic images in 2JPDC printed with a digital process commonly associated with commercial signage draw on a number of historical sources including a 1981 issue of the Japanese Magazine Global Architecture (which includes Kenneth Framptonrsquos essay on Cesar Pelli ldquoBuilding for Megalopolisrdquo) an anecdotal account of Robert Venturirsquos motherrsquos geraniums and a library of widely available library of computer-generated water graphics
Treating images with a sculptural sensibility 2J produces modular systems of furniture objects and installations that collapse the boundary between surface and support and undermine the conventional binaries of repression and expression that so often divide the realms of design and art
WON JU LIMEchoing the colorful dynamic of the Pacific Design Centerrsquos presence as urban landscape are two large-scale mixed media installations by Los Angeles artist Won Ju Lim The works entitled Emerald (2002) and White (2004) typify the artistrsquos play with post-minimalist
sculpture and modernist architectural tropes with its use of translucent and colored Plexiglas units of different sizes stacked up in boxlike shapes to assemble model-scale ldquobuildingsrdquo in futuristic cityscapes Interior light boxes direct light through several layers of Plexiglas to create entirely new visual effects that make the work seem to be lit up from within The artificial materiality of the construction as well as the dramatic setting of the large-scale pieces with their magical use of the light box create its own powerful glowing space The exhibit is curated by Alexandra Lippman
KENNY SCHARFLocated in the Green Lobby is Kenny Scharfrsquos Daisymobile (19752014) a customized Pontiac automobile sculpture that features the artistrsquos iconic imagery For Scharf the car is a natural extension of his practice of transforming mass-produced objects of daily life like televisions and telephones into boldly colored assemblages With their ultramodern design features automobiles of the late 1950s 1960s and 70s are for the artist the personification of the erarsquos optimism and innovation More than just an aestheticization of objects these customized vehicles are Scharfrsquos exuberant maximalist interpretation of what was once Americarsquos futuristic utopia
MAHARAMVisit Maharamrsquos new showroom at the PDC (Suite G-152) designed by architect Neil Logan and British artist Liam Gillick which was recently featured in Architectural Digest In addition to a comprehensive offering of textiles Maharam works with esteemed artists designers photographers and illustrators to create large-scale digitally printed wall installations The Maharam showroom features Maharam Digital Projectsrsquo Orange_Lemon_Chex by GuytonWalker

Design Comes of Age The Blue Whale Celebrates its Ruby Anniversary
ldquoPacific Design Center is a six-story blue presence that is felt from great distancesrdquo -Progressive Architecture 1976
From its inception Pacific Design Center aimed to become a revolutionary force in the world of interior design A transformative West Coast presence seeking to transcend traditional roles of ldquomerchandise martsrdquo as a national hub for decoration culture and events Today PDC is a thriving international design destination housing over 85 showrooms and 2200 product lines a sought-after venue hosting events by some of the worldrsquos leading brands a cultural center home to a satellite branch of the renown Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) and through its designLAb initiative and a dynamic partner to the Hollywood film industry hosting hundreds of screenings and film shoots each year If anniversaries serve as benchmarks of an institutionrsquos overall trajectory then 40 years after its debut it would seem like Pacific Design Center is well underway to becoming the multi-dimensional landmark it set out to be The history of the iconic ldquoBlue Whalerdquo however has hardly been predictable or linear PDCrsquos is a story of early success struggle and reinventionmdash a story not entirely uncommon in a city that rarely ever adheres to convention
ldquoThere is a certain openness a certain lightness to work on the West Coast which allows for and even requires an architecture that is a little more daringrdquo -Caesar Pelli
Makings of a Landmark
What started off as an ambitious attempt to give focus to the thriving Los Angeles interior design and furnishings industry of the 1970s soon became one of the most influential and defining projects for the West Coast interior design trade Originally conceived in 1971 The Pacific Design Center was developed by Gruen Associates and designed by internationally celebrated Argentinian-American architect Cesar Pelli to be purposely ldquoout scale with the neighborhoodrdquo Ron Kates leasing agent for the Design Center at the time shared his own vision for the project explaining that the six-story low-rise aimed to be ldquomore than just a vertical mall of shops but the heart and soul of the decorating business in Los Angelesrdquo The ldquoBlue Whalerdquo as it would be
affectionately known by many in the community was in fact an effort to consolidate the disparate design industry of the Beverly-Robertson area Already a prolific hub for furnishings and interior design Los Angeles was thought to lack a centralized market that could serve as a one-stop shop for professionals looking for sought-after local and international product Given the large scale of the projectmdash a massive 771000 square feet of showroom space with an adjoining 2000 car parking-lot mdash the building would in fact help to shape not only the design industry but by virtue of its size the surrounding area
Construction of the metal and glass structure which received an unprecedented 2-year building permit from the city began in 1973 on land acquired from the Southern Pacific Land Company From an architectural standpoint the titanic asymmetrical building was met with strong skepticism by the community particularly given the daunting sight of its steel skeleton extending far beyond anything in the vicinity ldquoThe building was conceived as an extruded form
cut off at both endsrdquo explains Pelli ldquoan architectural fragment sitting on the ground in a very bright unusual color to make it uniquerdquo However upon itrsquos completion in 1975 it wasnrsquot long before the building received wide praise from admirers around the world given its sophisticated fluid shape and bold blue-glass panels echoing the nearby Pacific Ocean From a leasing perspective the future Design Center was an instant hit boasting a 65 lease rate before its completion By 1976 PDC hosted some of the most recognizable names in interior design and furnishings including Knoll International Herman Miller Kneedler-Fauchegravere Baker and LeeJofa
ldquoDesign defines our individuality This project allows us to create an environment that defines designrdquo -Charles S Cohen
Pieces of a Puzzle Within a decade PDC had become an undisputed leader in West Coast architecture interior design and furnishings WESTWEEK its annual design conference had gathered significant momentum attracting a global audience of nearly 20000 visitors each year The dramatic success of the building along with a 100 occupancy rate lead to the development of an additional 475000 square feet of showroom space known as the Phase II expansion While the original 1970s concept proposed a 3 building complex mdash a rectangular Blue Building a triangular Green Building and a semicircular Red Buildingmdash this much anticipated geometric sequel sought to help solidify the PDC as a local landmark and the heart of the Los Angeles design trade The Green Building was completed in 1988 with a projected 50 brands looking to open or expand showrooms however a sudden shift in the contract and office furnishings industry followed by a drastic economic downturn lead to a steep decline in leases by 1991 ldquoAs we went through the recession the street became more viablerdquo shares Rocky LaFleur who currently works as Hospitality and Residential Outside Sales Representative for Kneedler-Fauchegravere He recalls his
time working with the leasing team at Pacific Design Center and the challenges he faced to fill available showroom space with short-term leases and temporary tenants as a significantly difficult time for the building However there were valuable lessons to be learned from the changing dynamics in the design trade ldquoThe tenants of the building have all learned how to adaptrdquo he explained ldquoevery customer that enters the door today is valued as a resultrdquo

In 1999 prolific Manhattan-based developer Charles S Cohen acquired Pacific Design Center adding the West Coast landmark to his already impressive portfolio of nationwide properties Cohen was no stranger to the design trade owning and operating the iconic Decoration and Design Building in New York City and later the Decorative Center Houston and the Design Center of the Americas Besides dramatic improvements to the infrastructure of the Blue Building to reflect a more contemporary and accurate idea of the interior design trade Cohen transformed the Green Building to luxury office space By diversifying the tenant base he sought to make the campus considerably more approachable and more in line with his vision for the PDC as a leading cultural and entertainment destination ldquoItrsquos about connecting the Design Center to its communityrdquo he explained ldquomost importantly the creative community which is right at our doorsteprdquo However it was yet another key development under Cohenrsquos leadership that would have the greatest impact in shaping the building and fulfilling his vision for the property the construction of the Red Building
ldquoEveryone recognizes that the business as we knew it 30 years ago has changed PDC gives you relationships it gives you connections People are here to be inspiredrdquo -Rocky LaFleur
A Unique Sculpture Garden
Completing Cesar Pellirsquos vision of the PDC as a king-size sculpture garden the City of West Hollywood enthusiastically authorized the development of the Red Building in 2004 By 2012 the 400000 square foot 16-story ruby Red Building joined its Blue and Green counterparts creating one of the most recognizable landmarks in the whole of Los Angeles For Pelli this was no minor accomplishment concluding over four decades of designs revisions and uncertainty as to whether his trilogy would ever come to fruition The Red Building developed as top-of-the-line luxury office space for creative brands employed revolutionary new technologies to attain its striking hue ldquoThis is not a color that exists in a vacuum itrsquos part of a grouprdquo stressed Pelli ldquoand the group needs to work like a great paintingrdquo This harmony of shape and color of course reflected the seamless and natural relationship between culture art and design that now coexisted in the property
The ldquoBlue Whalerdquo also saw a significant resurgence during the early Cohen years attracting some of the most highly respected names in the interior design trade including Thomas Lavin Holly Hunt JANUS et Cie and Summit Many of these names would eventually become synonymous with the PDC and come to represent the caliber of product and talent in the building ldquoThere is a misunderstanding by some people on the street about what the building has to offerrdquo explains Thomas Lavin who recently expanded his prestigious showroom ldquoI think when designers are really doing their shopping they go to PDC and it certainly is the international destination for home furnishingsrdquo While the design trade has and continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace and the role of design centers and showrooms has shifted there is something timeless about the PDC ldquoToday the value of the design center becomes heightened because itrsquos about relationships and about communityrdquo says LaFleur ldquoSo much of the value of this business is people coming together to talk to each-otherrdquo
The Pacific Design Center has come a long way from its beginnings as an effort to consolidate the Los Angeles interior design trade It has become an international design destination fostering strong relationships with leading voices in design like Architectural Digest and Elle Decor and renown designers like Kelly Wearstler Timothy Corrigan and Barbara Barry It has become a sought-after event venue attracting international brands like City of Hope and Land Rover and a hub for international-caliber art exhibitions from the likes of Steve McQueen and Jacob Hashimoto Above all it has embraced the creative community in unprecedented ways opening its doors to exciting new prospects

Pacific Design Center celebrates its 40th year with a site-specific commissioned installation in the Blue Lobby by 2J (sculptor Justin Beal and painter Jesse Willenbring) that considers the history of Cesar PelliGruen Associatesrsquo groundbreaking design for the Pacific Design Center as well as the buildingrsquos function within the daily commerce of design Two other exhibits in the Lobby refer to the aesthetics of the Pacific Design Center as an iconic urban presence an installation by Won Ju Lim and in the Green Lobby Kenny Scharfrsquos Daisymobile (19752014) a Pontiac automobile the artist re-interpreted in terms of his iconic exuberant style
2J2JPDC a site-specific installation by 2J (sculptor Justin Beal and painter Jesse Willenbring) considers the history of Cesar PelliGruen Associatesrsquo groundbreaking design for the Pacific Design Center as well as the buildingrsquos function within the daily commerce of design
The focal point of the exhibition is an existing system of 2J walls and tables that use vertical and horizontal glass planes that divide the space into layers of superimposed and overlapping imagery The graphic images in 2JPDC printed with a digital process commonly associated with commercial signage draw on a number of historical sources including a 1981 issue of the Japanese Magazine Global Architecture (which includes Kenneth Framptonrsquos essay on Cesar Pelli ldquoBuilding for Megalopolisrdquo) an anecdotal account of Robert Venturirsquos motherrsquos geraniums and a library of widely available library of computer-generated water graphics
Treating images with a sculptural sensibility 2J produces modular systems of furniture objects and installations that collapse the boundary between surface and support and undermine the conventional binaries of repression and expression that so often divide the realms of design and art
WON JU LIMEchoing the colorful dynamic of the Pacific Design Centerrsquos presence as urban landscape are two large-scale mixed media installations by Los Angeles artist Won Ju Lim The works entitled Emerald (2002) and White (2004) typify the artistrsquos play with post-minimalist
sculpture and modernist architectural tropes with its use of translucent and colored Plexiglas units of different sizes stacked up in boxlike shapes to assemble model-scale ldquobuildingsrdquo in futuristic cityscapes Interior light boxes direct light through several layers of Plexiglas to create entirely new visual effects that make the work seem to be lit up from within The artificial materiality of the construction as well as the dramatic setting of the large-scale pieces with their magical use of the light box create its own powerful glowing space The exhibit is curated by Alexandra Lippman
KENNY SCHARFLocated in the Green Lobby is Kenny Scharfrsquos Daisymobile (19752014) a customized Pontiac automobile sculpture that features the artistrsquos iconic imagery For Scharf the car is a natural extension of his practice of transforming mass-produced objects of daily life like televisions and telephones into boldly colored assemblages With their ultramodern design features automobiles of the late 1950s 1960s and 70s are for the artist the personification of the erarsquos optimism and innovation More than just an aestheticization of objects these customized vehicles are Scharfrsquos exuberant maximalist interpretation of what was once Americarsquos futuristic utopia

Design Comes of Age The Blue Whale Celebrates its Ruby Anniversary
ldquoPacific Design Center is a six-story blue presence that is felt from great distancesrdquo -Progressive Architecture 1976
From its inception Pacific Design Center aimed to become a revolutionary force in the world of interior design A transformative West Coast presence seeking to transcend traditional roles of ldquomerchandise martsrdquo as a national hub for decoration culture and events Today PDC is a thriving international design destination housing over 85 showrooms and 2200 product lines a sought-after venue hosting events by some of the worldrsquos leading brands a cultural center home to a satellite branch of the renown Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) and through its designLAb initiative and a dynamic partner to the Hollywood film industry hosting hundreds of screenings and film shoots each year If anniversaries serve as benchmarks of an institutionrsquos overall trajectory then 40 years after its debut it would seem like Pacific Design Center is well underway to becoming the multi-dimensional landmark it set out to be The history of the iconic ldquoBlue Whalerdquo however has hardly been predictable or linear PDCrsquos is a story of early success struggle and reinventionmdash a story not entirely uncommon in a city that rarely ever adheres to convention
ldquoThere is a certain openness a certain lightness to work on the West Coast which allows for and even requires an architecture that is a little more daringrdquo -Caesar Pelli
Makings of a Landmark
What started off as an ambitious attempt to give focus to the thriving Los Angeles interior design and furnishings industry of the 1970s soon became one of the most influential and defining projects for the West Coast interior design trade Originally conceived in 1971 The Pacific Design Center was developed by Gruen Associates and designed by internationally celebrated Argentinian-American architect Cesar Pelli to be purposely ldquoout scale with the neighborhoodrdquo Ron Kates leasing agent for the Design Center at the time shared his own vision for the project explaining that the six-story low-rise aimed to be ldquomore than just a vertical mall of shops but the heart and soul of the decorating business in Los Angelesrdquo The ldquoBlue Whalerdquo as it would be
affectionately known by many in the community was in fact an effort to consolidate the disparate design industry of the Beverly-Robertson area Already a prolific hub for furnishings and interior design Los Angeles was thought to lack a centralized market that could serve as a one-stop shop for professionals looking for sought-after local and international product Given the large scale of the projectmdash a massive 771000 square feet of showroom space with an adjoining 2000 car parking-lot mdash the building would in fact help to shape not only the design industry but by virtue of its size the surrounding area
Construction of the metal and glass structure which received an unprecedented 2-year building permit from the city began in 1973 on land acquired from the Southern Pacific Land Company From an architectural standpoint the titanic asymmetrical building was met with strong skepticism by the community particularly given the daunting sight of its steel skeleton extending far beyond anything in the vicinity ldquoThe building was conceived as an extruded form
cut off at both endsrdquo explains Pelli ldquoan architectural fragment sitting on the ground in a very bright unusual color to make it uniquerdquo However upon itrsquos completion in 1975 it wasnrsquot long before the building received wide praise from admirers around the world given its sophisticated fluid shape and bold blue-glass panels echoing the nearby Pacific Ocean From a leasing perspective the future Design Center was an instant hit boasting a 65 lease rate before its completion By 1976 PDC hosted some of the most recognizable names in interior design and furnishings including Knoll International Herman Miller Kneedler-Fauchegravere Baker and LeeJofa
ldquoDesign defines our individuality This project allows us to create an environment that defines designrdquo -Charles S Cohen
Pieces of a Puzzle Within a decade PDC had become an undisputed leader in West Coast architecture interior design and furnishings WESTWEEK its annual design conference had gathered significant momentum attracting a global audience of nearly 20000 visitors each year The dramatic success of the building along with a 100 occupancy rate lead to the development of an additional 475000 square feet of showroom space known as the Phase II expansion While the original 1970s concept proposed a 3 building complex mdash a rectangular Blue Building a triangular Green Building and a semicircular Red Buildingmdash this much anticipated geometric sequel sought to help solidify the PDC as a local landmark and the heart of the Los Angeles design trade The Green Building was completed in 1988 with a projected 50 brands looking to open or expand showrooms however a sudden shift in the contract and office furnishings industry followed by a drastic economic downturn lead to a steep decline in leases by 1991 ldquoAs we went through the recession the street became more viablerdquo shares Rocky LaFleur who currently works as Hospitality and Residential Outside Sales Representative for Kneedler-Fauchegravere He recalls his
time working with the leasing team at Pacific Design Center and the challenges he faced to fill available showroom space with short-term leases and temporary tenants as a significantly difficult time for the building However there were valuable lessons to be learned from the changing dynamics in the design trade ldquoThe tenants of the building have all learned how to adaptrdquo he explained ldquoevery customer that enters the door today is valued as a resultrdquo

In 1999 prolific Manhattan-based developer Charles S Cohen acquired Pacific Design Center adding the West Coast landmark to his already impressive portfolio of nationwide properties Cohen was no stranger to the design trade owning and operating the iconic Decoration and Design Building in New York City and later the Decorative Center Houston and the Design Center of the Americas Besides dramatic improvements to the infrastructure of the Blue Building to reflect a more contemporary and accurate idea of the interior design trade Cohen transformed the Green Building to luxury office space By diversifying the tenant base he sought to make the campus considerably more approachable and more in line with his vision for the PDC as a leading cultural and entertainment destination ldquoItrsquos about connecting the Design Center to its communityrdquo he explained ldquomost importantly the creative community which is right at our doorsteprdquo However it was yet another key development under Cohenrsquos leadership that would have the greatest impact in shaping the building and fulfilling his vision for the property the construction of the Red Building
ldquoEveryone recognizes that the business as we knew it 30 years ago has changed PDC gives you relationships it gives you connections People are here to be inspiredrdquo -Rocky LaFleur
A Unique Sculpture Garden
Completing Cesar Pellirsquos vision of the PDC as a king-size sculpture garden the City of West Hollywood enthusiastically authorized the development of the Red Building in 2004 By 2012 the 400000 square foot 16-story ruby Red Building joined its Blue and Green counterparts creating one of the most recognizable landmarks in the whole of Los Angeles For Pelli this was no minor accomplishment concluding over four decades of designs revisions and uncertainty as to whether his trilogy would ever come to fruition The Red Building developed as top-of-the-line luxury office space for creative brands employed revolutionary new technologies to attain its striking hue ldquoThis is not a color that exists in a vacuum itrsquos part of a grouprdquo stressed Pelli ldquoand the group needs to work like a great paintingrdquo This harmony of shape and color of course reflected the seamless and natural relationship between culture art and design that now coexisted in the property
The ldquoBlue Whalerdquo also saw a significant resurgence during the early Cohen years attracting some of the most highly respected names in the interior design trade including Thomas Lavin Holly Hunt JANUS et Cie and Summit Many of these names would eventually become synonymous with the PDC and come to represent the caliber of product and talent in the building ldquoThere is a misunderstanding by some people on the street about what the building has to offerrdquo explains Thomas Lavin who recently expanded his prestigious showroom ldquoI think when designers are really doing their shopping they go to PDC and it certainly is the international destination for home furnishingsrdquo While the design trade has and continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace and the role of design centers and showrooms has shifted there is something timeless about the PDC ldquoToday the value of the design center becomes heightened because itrsquos about relationships and about communityrdquo says LaFleur ldquoSo much of the value of this business is people coming together to talk to each-otherrdquo
The Pacific Design Center has come a long way from its beginnings as an effort to consolidate the Los Angeles interior design trade It has become an international design destination fostering strong relationships with leading voices in design like Architectural Digest and Elle Decor and renown designers like Kelly Wearstler Timothy Corrigan and Barbara Barry It has become a sought-after event venue attracting international brands like City of Hope and Land Rover and a hub for international-caliber art exhibitions from the likes of Steve McQueen and Jacob Hashimoto Above all it has embraced the creative community in unprecedented ways opening its doors to exciting new prospects

Opening Reception Tuesday March 24 500-930 PMOn view through July 31
Pacific Design Center celebrates its 40th year with a site-specific commissioned installation in the Blue Lobby by 2J (sculptor Justin Beal and painter Jesse Willenbring) that considers the history of Cesar PelliGruen Associatesrsquo groundbreaking design for the Pacific Design Center as well as the buildingrsquos function within the daily commerce of design Two other exhibits in the Lobby refer to the aesthetics of the Pacific Design Center as an iconic urban presence an installation by Won Ju Lim and in the Green Lobby Kenny Scharfrsquos Daisymobile (19752014) a Pontiac automobile the artist re-interpreted in terms of his iconic exuberant style
2J2JPDC a site-specific installation by 2J (sculptor Justin Beal and painter Jesse Willenbring) considers the history of Cesar PelliGruen Associatesrsquo groundbreaking design for the Pacific Design Center as well as the buildingrsquos function within the daily commerce of design
The focal point of the exhibition is an existing system of 2J walls and tables that use vertical and horizontal glass planes that divide the space into layers of superimposed and overlapping imagery The graphic images in 2JPDC printed with a digital process commonly associated with commercial signage draw on a number of historical sources including a 1981 issue of the Japanese Magazine Global Architecture (which includes Kenneth Framptonrsquos essay on Cesar Pelli ldquoBuilding for Megalopolisrdquo) an anecdotal account of Robert Venturirsquos motherrsquos geraniums and a library of widely available library of computer-generated water graphics
Treating images with a sculptural sensibility 2J produces modular systems of furniture objects and installations that collapse the boundary between surface and support and undermine the conventional binaries of repression and expression that so often divide the realms of design and art
WON JU LIMEchoing the colorful dynamic of the Pacific Design Centerrsquos presence as urban landscape are two large-scale mixed media installations by Los Angeles artist Won Ju Lim The works entitled Emerald (2002) and White (2004) typify the artistrsquos play with post-minimalist
sculpture and modernist architectural tropes with its use of translucent and colored Plexiglas units of different sizes stacked up in boxlike shapes to assemble model-scale ldquobuildingsrdquo in futuristic cityscapes Interior light boxes direct light through several layers of Plexiglas to create entirely new visual effects that make the work seem to be lit up from within The artificial materiality of the construction as well as the dramatic setting of the large-scale pieces with their magical use of the light box create its own powerful glowing space The exhibit is curated by Alexandra Lippman
KENNY SCHARFLocated in the Green Lobby is Kenny Scharfrsquos Daisymobile (19752014) a customized Pontiac automobile sculpture that features the artistrsquos iconic imagery For Scharf the car is a natural extension of his practice of transforming mass-produced objects of daily life like televisions and telephones into boldly colored assemblages With their ultramodern design features automobiles of the late 1950s 1960s and 70s are for the artist the personification of the erarsquos optimism and innovation More than just an aestheticization of objects these customized vehicles are Scharfrsquos exuberant maximalist interpretation of what was once Americarsquos futuristic utopia

Design Comes of Age The Blue Whale Celebrates its Ruby Anniversary
ldquoPacific Design Center is a six-story blue presence that is felt from great distancesrdquo -Progressive Architecture 1976
From its inception Pacific Design Center aimed to become a revolutionary force in the world of interior design A transformative West Coast presence seeking to transcend traditional roles of ldquomerchandise martsrdquo as a national hub for decoration culture and events Today PDC is a thriving international design destination housing over 85 showrooms and 2200 product lines a sought-after venue hosting events by some of the worldrsquos leading brands a cultural center home to a satellite branch of the renown Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) and through its designLAb initiative and a dynamic partner to the Hollywood film industry hosting hundreds of screenings and film shoots each year If anniversaries serve as benchmarks of an institutionrsquos overall trajectory then 40 years after its debut it would seem like Pacific Design Center is well underway to becoming the multi-dimensional landmark it set out to be The history of the iconic ldquoBlue Whalerdquo however has hardly been predictable or linear PDCrsquos is a story of early success struggle and reinventionmdash a story not entirely uncommon in a city that rarely ever adheres to convention
ldquoThere is a certain openness a certain lightness to work on the West Coast which allows for and even requires an architecture that is a little more daringrdquo -Caesar Pelli
Makings of a Landmark
What started off as an ambitious attempt to give focus to the thriving Los Angeles interior design and furnishings industry of the 1970s soon became one of the most influential and defining projects for the West Coast interior design trade Originally conceived in 1971 The Pacific Design Center was developed by Gruen Associates and designed by internationally celebrated Argentinian-American architect Cesar Pelli to be purposely ldquoout scale with the neighborhoodrdquo Ron Kates leasing agent for the Design Center at the time shared his own vision for the project explaining that the six-story low-rise aimed to be ldquomore than just a vertical mall of shops but the heart and soul of the decorating business in Los Angelesrdquo The ldquoBlue Whalerdquo as it would be
affectionately known by many in the community was in fact an effort to consolidate the disparate design industry of the Beverly-Robertson area Already a prolific hub for furnishings and interior design Los Angeles was thought to lack a centralized market that could serve as a one-stop shop for professionals looking for sought-after local and international product Given the large scale of the projectmdash a massive 771000 square feet of showroom space with an adjoining 2000 car parking-lot mdash the building would in fact help to shape not only the design industry but by virtue of its size the surrounding area
Construction of the metal and glass structure which received an unprecedented 2-year building permit from the city began in 1973 on land acquired from the Southern Pacific Land Company From an architectural standpoint the titanic asymmetrical building was met with strong skepticism by the community particularly given the daunting sight of its steel skeleton extending far beyond anything in the vicinity ldquoThe building was conceived as an extruded form
cut off at both endsrdquo explains Pelli ldquoan architectural fragment sitting on the ground in a very bright unusual color to make it uniquerdquo However upon itrsquos completion in 1975 it wasnrsquot long before the building received wide praise from admirers around the world given its sophisticated fluid shape and bold blue-glass panels echoing the nearby Pacific Ocean From a leasing perspective the future Design Center was an instant hit boasting a 65 lease rate before its completion By 1976 PDC hosted some of the most recognizable names in interior design and furnishings including Knoll International Herman Miller Kneedler-Fauchegravere Baker and LeeJofa
ldquoDesign defines our individuality This project allows us to create an environment that defines designrdquo -Charles S Cohen
Pieces of a Puzzle Within a decade PDC had become an undisputed leader in West Coast architecture interior design and furnishings WESTWEEK its annual design conference had gathered significant momentum attracting a global audience of nearly 20000 visitors each year The dramatic success of the building along with a 100 occupancy rate lead to the development of an additional 475000 square feet of showroom space known as the Phase II expansion While the original 1970s concept proposed a 3 building complex mdash a rectangular Blue Building a triangular Green Building and a semicircular Red Buildingmdash this much anticipated geometric sequel sought to help solidify the PDC as a local landmark and the heart of the Los Angeles design trade The Green Building was completed in 1988 with a projected 50 brands looking to open or expand showrooms however a sudden shift in the contract and office furnishings industry followed by a drastic economic downturn lead to a steep decline in leases by 1991 ldquoAs we went through the recession the street became more viablerdquo shares Rocky LaFleur who currently works as Hospitality and Residential Outside Sales Representative for Kneedler-Fauchegravere He recalls his
time working with the leasing team at Pacific Design Center and the challenges he faced to fill available showroom space with short-term leases and temporary tenants as a significantly difficult time for the building However there were valuable lessons to be learned from the changing dynamics in the design trade ldquoThe tenants of the building have all learned how to adaptrdquo he explained ldquoevery customer that enters the door today is valued as a resultrdquo

In 1999 prolific Manhattan-based developer Charles S Cohen acquired Pacific Design Center adding the West Coast landmark to his already impressive portfolio of nationwide properties Cohen was no stranger to the design trade owning and operating the iconic Decoration and Design Building in New York City and later the Decorative Center Houston and the Design Center of the Americas Besides dramatic improvements to the infrastructure of the Blue Building to reflect a more contemporary and accurate idea of the interior design trade Cohen transformed the Green Building to luxury office space By diversifying the tenant base he sought to make the campus considerably more approachable and more in line with his vision for the PDC as a leading cultural and entertainment destination ldquoItrsquos about connecting the Design Center to its communityrdquo he explained ldquomost importantly the creative community which is right at our doorsteprdquo However it was yet another key development under Cohenrsquos leadership that would have the greatest impact in shaping the building and fulfilling his vision for the property the construction of the Red Building
ldquoEveryone recognizes that the business as we knew it 30 years ago has changed PDC gives you relationships it gives you connections People are here to be inspiredrdquo -Rocky LaFleur
A Unique Sculpture Garden
Completing Cesar Pellirsquos vision of the PDC as a king-size sculpture garden the City of West Hollywood enthusiastically authorized the development of the Red Building in 2004 By 2012 the 400000 square foot 16-story ruby Red Building joined its Blue and Green counterparts creating one of the most recognizable landmarks in the whole of Los Angeles For Pelli this was no minor accomplishment concluding over four decades of designs revisions and uncertainty as to whether his trilogy would ever come to fruition The Red Building developed as top-of-the-line luxury office space for creative brands employed revolutionary new technologies to attain its striking hue ldquoThis is not a color that exists in a vacuum itrsquos part of a grouprdquo stressed Pelli ldquoand the group needs to work like a great paintingrdquo This harmony of shape and color of course reflected the seamless and natural relationship between culture art and design that now coexisted in the property
The ldquoBlue Whalerdquo also saw a significant resurgence during the early Cohen years attracting some of the most highly respected names in the interior design trade including Thomas Lavin Holly Hunt JANUS et Cie and Summit Many of these names would eventually become synonymous with the PDC and come to represent the caliber of product and talent in the building ldquoThere is a misunderstanding by some people on the street about what the building has to offerrdquo explains Thomas Lavin who recently expanded his prestigious showroom ldquoI think when designers are really doing their shopping they go to PDC and it certainly is the international destination for home furnishingsrdquo While the design trade has and continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace and the role of design centers and showrooms has shifted there is something timeless about the PDC ldquoToday the value of the design center becomes heightened because itrsquos about relationships and about communityrdquo says LaFleur ldquoSo much of the value of this business is people coming together to talk to each-otherrdquo
The Pacific Design Center has come a long way from its beginnings as an effort to consolidate the Los Angeles interior design trade It has become an international design destination fostering strong relationships with leading voices in design like Architectural Digest and Elle Decor and renown designers like Kelly Wearstler Timothy Corrigan and Barbara Barry It has become a sought-after event venue attracting international brands like City of Hope and Land Rover and a hub for international-caliber art exhibitions from the likes of Steve McQueen and Jacob Hashimoto Above all it has embraced the creative community in unprecedented ways opening its doors to exciting new prospects

2J2JPDC a site-specific installation by 2J (sculptor Justin Beal and painter Jesse Willenbring) considers the history of Cesar PelliGruen Associatesrsquo groundbreaking design for the Pacific Design Center as well as the buildingrsquos function within the daily commerce of design
The focal point of the exhibition is an existing system of 2J walls and tables that use vertical and horizontal glass planes that divide the space into layers of superimposed and overlapping imagery The graphic images in 2JPDC printed with a digital process commonly associated with commercial signage draw on a number of historical sources including a 1981 issue of the Japanese Magazine Global Architecture (which includes Kenneth Framptonrsquos essay on Cesar Pelli ldquoBuilding for Megalopolisrdquo) an anecdotal account of Robert Venturirsquos motherrsquos geraniums and a library of widely available library of computer-generated water graphics
Treating images with a sculptural sensibility 2J produces modular systems of furniture objects and installations that collapse the boundary between surface and support and undermine the conventional binaries of repression and expression that so often divide the realms of design and art
WON JU LIMEchoing the colorful dynamic of the Pacific Design Centerrsquos presence as urban landscape are two large-scale mixed media installations by Los Angeles artist Won Ju Lim The works entitled Emerald (2002) and White (2004) typify the artistrsquos play with post-minimalist
sculpture and modernist architectural tropes with its use of translucent and colored Plexiglas units of different sizes stacked up in boxlike shapes to assemble model-scale ldquobuildingsrdquo in futuristic cityscapes Interior light boxes direct light through several layers of Plexiglas to create entirely new visual effects that make the work seem to be lit up from within The artificial materiality of the construction as well as the dramatic setting of the large-scale pieces with their magical use of the light box create its own powerful glowing space The exhibit is curated by Alexandra Lippman
KENNY SCHARFLocated in the Green Lobby is Kenny Scharfrsquos Daisymobile (19752014) a customized Pontiac automobile sculpture that features the artistrsquos iconic imagery For Scharf the car is a natural extension of his practice of transforming mass-produced objects of daily life like televisions and telephones into boldly colored assemblages With their ultramodern design features automobiles of the late 1950s 1960s and 70s are for the artist the personification of the erarsquos optimism and innovation More than just an aestheticization of objects these customized vehicles are Scharfrsquos exuberant maximalist interpretation of what was once Americarsquos futuristic utopia

Design Comes of Age The Blue Whale Celebrates its Ruby Anniversary
ldquoPacific Design Center is a six-story blue presence that is felt from great distancesrdquo -Progressive Architecture 1976
From its inception Pacific Design Center aimed to become a revolutionary force in the world of interior design A transformative West Coast presence seeking to transcend traditional roles of ldquomerchandise martsrdquo as a national hub for decoration culture and events Today PDC is a thriving international design destination housing over 85 showrooms and 2200 product lines a sought-after venue hosting events by some of the worldrsquos leading brands a cultural center home to a satellite branch of the renown Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) and through its designLAb initiative and a dynamic partner to the Hollywood film industry hosting hundreds of screenings and film shoots each year If anniversaries serve as benchmarks of an institutionrsquos overall trajectory then 40 years after its debut it would seem like Pacific Design Center is well underway to becoming the multi-dimensional landmark it set out to be The history of the iconic ldquoBlue Whalerdquo however has hardly been predictable or linear PDCrsquos is a story of early success struggle and reinventionmdash a story not entirely uncommon in a city that rarely ever adheres to convention
ldquoThere is a certain openness a certain lightness to work on the West Coast which allows for and even requires an architecture that is a little more daringrdquo -Caesar Pelli
Makings of a Landmark
What started off as an ambitious attempt to give focus to the thriving Los Angeles interior design and furnishings industry of the 1970s soon became one of the most influential and defining projects for the West Coast interior design trade Originally conceived in 1971 The Pacific Design Center was developed by Gruen Associates and designed by internationally celebrated Argentinian-American architect Cesar Pelli to be purposely ldquoout scale with the neighborhoodrdquo Ron Kates leasing agent for the Design Center at the time shared his own vision for the project explaining that the six-story low-rise aimed to be ldquomore than just a vertical mall of shops but the heart and soul of the decorating business in Los Angelesrdquo The ldquoBlue Whalerdquo as it would be
affectionately known by many in the community was in fact an effort to consolidate the disparate design industry of the Beverly-Robertson area Already a prolific hub for furnishings and interior design Los Angeles was thought to lack a centralized market that could serve as a one-stop shop for professionals looking for sought-after local and international product Given the large scale of the projectmdash a massive 771000 square feet of showroom space with an adjoining 2000 car parking-lot mdash the building would in fact help to shape not only the design industry but by virtue of its size the surrounding area
Construction of the metal and glass structure which received an unprecedented 2-year building permit from the city began in 1973 on land acquired from the Southern Pacific Land Company From an architectural standpoint the titanic asymmetrical building was met with strong skepticism by the community particularly given the daunting sight of its steel skeleton extending far beyond anything in the vicinity ldquoThe building was conceived as an extruded form
cut off at both endsrdquo explains Pelli ldquoan architectural fragment sitting on the ground in a very bright unusual color to make it uniquerdquo However upon itrsquos completion in 1975 it wasnrsquot long before the building received wide praise from admirers around the world given its sophisticated fluid shape and bold blue-glass panels echoing the nearby Pacific Ocean From a leasing perspective the future Design Center was an instant hit boasting a 65 lease rate before its completion By 1976 PDC hosted some of the most recognizable names in interior design and furnishings including Knoll International Herman Miller Kneedler-Fauchegravere Baker and LeeJofa
ldquoDesign defines our individuality This project allows us to create an environment that defines designrdquo -Charles S Cohen
Pieces of a Puzzle Within a decade PDC had become an undisputed leader in West Coast architecture interior design and furnishings WESTWEEK its annual design conference had gathered significant momentum attracting a global audience of nearly 20000 visitors each year The dramatic success of the building along with a 100 occupancy rate lead to the development of an additional 475000 square feet of showroom space known as the Phase II expansion While the original 1970s concept proposed a 3 building complex mdash a rectangular Blue Building a triangular Green Building and a semicircular Red Buildingmdash this much anticipated geometric sequel sought to help solidify the PDC as a local landmark and the heart of the Los Angeles design trade The Green Building was completed in 1988 with a projected 50 brands looking to open or expand showrooms however a sudden shift in the contract and office furnishings industry followed by a drastic economic downturn lead to a steep decline in leases by 1991 ldquoAs we went through the recession the street became more viablerdquo shares Rocky LaFleur who currently works as Hospitality and Residential Outside Sales Representative for Kneedler-Fauchegravere He recalls his
time working with the leasing team at Pacific Design Center and the challenges he faced to fill available showroom space with short-term leases and temporary tenants as a significantly difficult time for the building However there were valuable lessons to be learned from the changing dynamics in the design trade ldquoThe tenants of the building have all learned how to adaptrdquo he explained ldquoevery customer that enters the door today is valued as a resultrdquo

In 1999 prolific Manhattan-based developer Charles S Cohen acquired Pacific Design Center adding the West Coast landmark to his already impressive portfolio of nationwide properties Cohen was no stranger to the design trade owning and operating the iconic Decoration and Design Building in New York City and later the Decorative Center Houston and the Design Center of the Americas Besides dramatic improvements to the infrastructure of the Blue Building to reflect a more contemporary and accurate idea of the interior design trade Cohen transformed the Green Building to luxury office space By diversifying the tenant base he sought to make the campus considerably more approachable and more in line with his vision for the PDC as a leading cultural and entertainment destination ldquoItrsquos about connecting the Design Center to its communityrdquo he explained ldquomost importantly the creative community which is right at our doorsteprdquo However it was yet another key development under Cohenrsquos leadership that would have the greatest impact in shaping the building and fulfilling his vision for the property the construction of the Red Building
ldquoEveryone recognizes that the business as we knew it 30 years ago has changed PDC gives you relationships it gives you connections People are here to be inspiredrdquo -Rocky LaFleur
A Unique Sculpture Garden
Completing Cesar Pellirsquos vision of the PDC as a king-size sculpture garden the City of West Hollywood enthusiastically authorized the development of the Red Building in 2004 By 2012 the 400000 square foot 16-story ruby Red Building joined its Blue and Green counterparts creating one of the most recognizable landmarks in the whole of Los Angeles For Pelli this was no minor accomplishment concluding over four decades of designs revisions and uncertainty as to whether his trilogy would ever come to fruition The Red Building developed as top-of-the-line luxury office space for creative brands employed revolutionary new technologies to attain its striking hue ldquoThis is not a color that exists in a vacuum itrsquos part of a grouprdquo stressed Pelli ldquoand the group needs to work like a great paintingrdquo This harmony of shape and color of course reflected the seamless and natural relationship between culture art and design that now coexisted in the property
The ldquoBlue Whalerdquo also saw a significant resurgence during the early Cohen years attracting some of the most highly respected names in the interior design trade including Thomas Lavin Holly Hunt JANUS et Cie and Summit Many of these names would eventually become synonymous with the PDC and come to represent the caliber of product and talent in the building ldquoThere is a misunderstanding by some people on the street about what the building has to offerrdquo explains Thomas Lavin who recently expanded his prestigious showroom ldquoI think when designers are really doing their shopping they go to PDC and it certainly is the international destination for home furnishingsrdquo While the design trade has and continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace and the role of design centers and showrooms has shifted there is something timeless about the PDC ldquoToday the value of the design center becomes heightened because itrsquos about relationships and about communityrdquo says LaFleur ldquoSo much of the value of this business is people coming together to talk to each-otherrdquo
The Pacific Design Center has come a long way from its beginnings as an effort to consolidate the Los Angeles interior design trade It has become an international design destination fostering strong relationships with leading voices in design like Architectural Digest and Elle Decor and renown designers like Kelly Wearstler Timothy Corrigan and Barbara Barry It has become a sought-after event venue attracting international brands like City of Hope and Land Rover and a hub for international-caliber art exhibitions from the likes of Steve McQueen and Jacob Hashimoto Above all it has embraced the creative community in unprecedented ways opening its doors to exciting new prospects

Pacific Design Center celebrates its 40th year with a site-specific commissioned installation in the Blue Lobby by 2J (sculptor Justin Beal and painter Jesse Willenbring) that considers the history of Cesar PelliGruen Associatesrsquo groundbreaking design for the Pacific Design Center as well as the buildingrsquos function within the daily commerce of design Two other exhibits in the Lobby refer to the aesthetics of the Pacific Design Center as an iconic urban presence an installation by Won Ju Lim and in the Green Lobby Kenny Scharfrsquos Daisymobile (19752014) a Pontiac automobile the artist re-interpreted in terms of his iconic exuberant style
2J2JPDC a site-specific installation by 2J (sculptor Justin Beal and painter Jesse Willenbring) considers the history of Cesar PelliGruen Associatesrsquo groundbreaking design for the Pacific Design Center as well as the buildingrsquos function within the daily commerce of design
The focal point of the exhibition is an existing system of 2J walls and tables that use vertical and horizontal glass planes that divide the space into layers of superimposed and overlapping imagery The graphic images in 2JPDC printed with a digital process commonly associated with commercial signage draw on a number of historical sources including a 1981 issue of the Japanese Magazine Global Architecture (which includes Kenneth Framptonrsquos essay on Cesar Pelli ldquoBuilding for Megalopolisrdquo) an anecdotal account of Robert Venturirsquos motherrsquos geraniums and a library of widely available library of computer-generated water graphics
Treating images with a sculptural sensibility 2J produces modular systems of furniture objects and installations that collapse the boundary between surface and support and undermine the conventional binaries of repression and expression that so often divide the realms of design and art
WON JU LIMEchoing the colorful dynamic of the Pacific Design Centerrsquos presence as urban landscape are two large-scale mixed media installations by Los Angeles artist Won Ju Lim The works entitled Emerald (2002) and White (2004) typify the artistrsquos play with post-minimalist
sculpture and modernist architectural tropes with its use of translucent and colored Plexiglas units of different sizes stacked up in boxlike shapes to assemble model-scale ldquobuildingsrdquo in futuristic cityscapes Interior light boxes direct light through several layers of Plexiglas to create entirely new visual effects that make the work seem to be lit up from within The artificial materiality of the construction as well as the dramatic setting of the large-scale pieces with their magical use of the light box create its own powerful glowing space The exhibit is curated by Alexandra Lippman
KENNY SCHARFLocated in the Green Lobby is Kenny Scharfrsquos Daisymobile (19752014) a customized Pontiac automobile sculpture that features the artistrsquos iconic imagery For Scharf the car is a natural extension of his practice of transforming mass-produced objects of daily life like televisions and telephones into boldly colored assemblages With their ultramodern design features automobiles of the late 1950s 1960s and 70s are for the artist the personification of the erarsquos optimism and innovation More than just an aestheticization of objects these customized vehicles are Scharfrsquos exuberant maximalist interpretation of what was once Americarsquos futuristic utopia

Design Comes of Age The Blue Whale Celebrates its Ruby Anniversary
ldquoPacific Design Center is a six-story blue presence that is felt from great distancesrdquo -Progressive Architecture 1976
From its inception Pacific Design Center aimed to become a revolutionary force in the world of interior design A transformative West Coast presence seeking to transcend traditional roles of ldquomerchandise martsrdquo as a national hub for decoration culture and events Today PDC is a thriving international design destination housing over 85 showrooms and 2200 product lines a sought-after venue hosting events by some of the worldrsquos leading brands a cultural center home to a satellite branch of the renown Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) and through its designLAb initiative and a dynamic partner to the Hollywood film industry hosting hundreds of screenings and film shoots each year If anniversaries serve as benchmarks of an institutionrsquos overall trajectory then 40 years after its debut it would seem like Pacific Design Center is well underway to becoming the multi-dimensional landmark it set out to be The history of the iconic ldquoBlue Whalerdquo however has hardly been predictable or linear PDCrsquos is a story of early success struggle and reinventionmdash a story not entirely uncommon in a city that rarely ever adheres to convention
ldquoThere is a certain openness a certain lightness to work on the West Coast which allows for and even requires an architecture that is a little more daringrdquo -Caesar Pelli
Makings of a Landmark
What started off as an ambitious attempt to give focus to the thriving Los Angeles interior design and furnishings industry of the 1970s soon became one of the most influential and defining projects for the West Coast interior design trade Originally conceived in 1971 The Pacific Design Center was developed by Gruen Associates and designed by internationally celebrated Argentinian-American architect Cesar Pelli to be purposely ldquoout scale with the neighborhoodrdquo Ron Kates leasing agent for the Design Center at the time shared his own vision for the project explaining that the six-story low-rise aimed to be ldquomore than just a vertical mall of shops but the heart and soul of the decorating business in Los Angelesrdquo The ldquoBlue Whalerdquo as it would be
affectionately known by many in the community was in fact an effort to consolidate the disparate design industry of the Beverly-Robertson area Already a prolific hub for furnishings and interior design Los Angeles was thought to lack a centralized market that could serve as a one-stop shop for professionals looking for sought-after local and international product Given the large scale of the projectmdash a massive 771000 square feet of showroom space with an adjoining 2000 car parking-lot mdash the building would in fact help to shape not only the design industry but by virtue of its size the surrounding area
Construction of the metal and glass structure which received an unprecedented 2-year building permit from the city began in 1973 on land acquired from the Southern Pacific Land Company From an architectural standpoint the titanic asymmetrical building was met with strong skepticism by the community particularly given the daunting sight of its steel skeleton extending far beyond anything in the vicinity ldquoThe building was conceived as an extruded form
cut off at both endsrdquo explains Pelli ldquoan architectural fragment sitting on the ground in a very bright unusual color to make it uniquerdquo However upon itrsquos completion in 1975 it wasnrsquot long before the building received wide praise from admirers around the world given its sophisticated fluid shape and bold blue-glass panels echoing the nearby Pacific Ocean From a leasing perspective the future Design Center was an instant hit boasting a 65 lease rate before its completion By 1976 PDC hosted some of the most recognizable names in interior design and furnishings including Knoll International Herman Miller Kneedler-Fauchegravere Baker and LeeJofa
ldquoDesign defines our individuality This project allows us to create an environment that defines designrdquo -Charles S Cohen
Pieces of a Puzzle Within a decade PDC had become an undisputed leader in West Coast architecture interior design and furnishings WESTWEEK its annual design conference had gathered significant momentum attracting a global audience of nearly 20000 visitors each year The dramatic success of the building along with a 100 occupancy rate lead to the development of an additional 475000 square feet of showroom space known as the Phase II expansion While the original 1970s concept proposed a 3 building complex mdash a rectangular Blue Building a triangular Green Building and a semicircular Red Buildingmdash this much anticipated geometric sequel sought to help solidify the PDC as a local landmark and the heart of the Los Angeles design trade The Green Building was completed in 1988 with a projected 50 brands looking to open or expand showrooms however a sudden shift in the contract and office furnishings industry followed by a drastic economic downturn lead to a steep decline in leases by 1991 ldquoAs we went through the recession the street became more viablerdquo shares Rocky LaFleur who currently works as Hospitality and Residential Outside Sales Representative for Kneedler-Fauchegravere He recalls his
time working with the leasing team at Pacific Design Center and the challenges he faced to fill available showroom space with short-term leases and temporary tenants as a significantly difficult time for the building However there were valuable lessons to be learned from the changing dynamics in the design trade ldquoThe tenants of the building have all learned how to adaptrdquo he explained ldquoevery customer that enters the door today is valued as a resultrdquo

In 1999 prolific Manhattan-based developer Charles S Cohen acquired Pacific Design Center adding the West Coast landmark to his already impressive portfolio of nationwide properties Cohen was no stranger to the design trade owning and operating the iconic Decoration and Design Building in New York City and later the Decorative Center Houston and the Design Center of the Americas Besides dramatic improvements to the infrastructure of the Blue Building to reflect a more contemporary and accurate idea of the interior design trade Cohen transformed the Green Building to luxury office space By diversifying the tenant base he sought to make the campus considerably more approachable and more in line with his vision for the PDC as a leading cultural and entertainment destination ldquoItrsquos about connecting the Design Center to its communityrdquo he explained ldquomost importantly the creative community which is right at our doorsteprdquo However it was yet another key development under Cohenrsquos leadership that would have the greatest impact in shaping the building and fulfilling his vision for the property the construction of the Red Building
ldquoEveryone recognizes that the business as we knew it 30 years ago has changed PDC gives you relationships it gives you connections People are here to be inspiredrdquo -Rocky LaFleur
A Unique Sculpture Garden
Completing Cesar Pellirsquos vision of the PDC as a king-size sculpture garden the City of West Hollywood enthusiastically authorized the development of the Red Building in 2004 By 2012 the 400000 square foot 16-story ruby Red Building joined its Blue and Green counterparts creating one of the most recognizable landmarks in the whole of Los Angeles For Pelli this was no minor accomplishment concluding over four decades of designs revisions and uncertainty as to whether his trilogy would ever come to fruition The Red Building developed as top-of-the-line luxury office space for creative brands employed revolutionary new technologies to attain its striking hue ldquoThis is not a color that exists in a vacuum itrsquos part of a grouprdquo stressed Pelli ldquoand the group needs to work like a great paintingrdquo This harmony of shape and color of course reflected the seamless and natural relationship between culture art and design that now coexisted in the property
The ldquoBlue Whalerdquo also saw a significant resurgence during the early Cohen years attracting some of the most highly respected names in the interior design trade including Thomas Lavin Holly Hunt JANUS et Cie and Summit Many of these names would eventually become synonymous with the PDC and come to represent the caliber of product and talent in the building ldquoThere is a misunderstanding by some people on the street about what the building has to offerrdquo explains Thomas Lavin who recently expanded his prestigious showroom ldquoI think when designers are really doing their shopping they go to PDC and it certainly is the international destination for home furnishingsrdquo While the design trade has and continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace and the role of design centers and showrooms has shifted there is something timeless about the PDC ldquoToday the value of the design center becomes heightened because itrsquos about relationships and about communityrdquo says LaFleur ldquoSo much of the value of this business is people coming together to talk to each-otherrdquo
The Pacific Design Center has come a long way from its beginnings as an effort to consolidate the Los Angeles interior design trade It has become an international design destination fostering strong relationships with leading voices in design like Architectural Digest and Elle Decor and renown designers like Kelly Wearstler Timothy Corrigan and Barbara Barry It has become a sought-after event venue attracting international brands like City of Hope and Land Rover and a hub for international-caliber art exhibitions from the likes of Steve McQueen and Jacob Hashimoto Above all it has embraced the creative community in unprecedented ways opening its doors to exciting new prospects

Pacific Design Center celebrates its 40th year with a site-specific commissioned installation in the Blue Lobby by 2J (sculptor Justin Beal and painter Jesse Willenbring) that considers the history of Cesar PelliGruen Associatesrsquo groundbreaking design for the Pacific Design Center as well as the buildingrsquos function within the daily commerce of design Two other exhibits in the Lobby refer to the aesthetics of the Pacific Design Center as an iconic urban presence an installation by Won Ju Lim and in the Green Lobby Kenny Scharfrsquos Daisymobile (19752014) a Pontiac automobile the artist re-interpreted in terms of his iconic exuberant style
2J2JPDC a site-specific installation by 2J (sculptor Justin Beal and painter Jesse Willenbring) considers the history of Cesar PelliGruen Associatesrsquo groundbreaking design for the Pacific Design Center as well as the buildingrsquos function within the daily commerce of design
The focal point of the exhibition is an existing system of 2J walls and tables that use vertical and horizontal glass planes that divide the space into layers of superimposed and overlapping imagery The graphic images in 2JPDC printed with a digital process commonly associated with commercial signage draw on a number of historical sources including a 1981 issue of the Japanese Magazine Global Architecture (which includes Kenneth Framptonrsquos essay on Cesar Pelli ldquoBuilding for Megalopolisrdquo) an anecdotal account of Robert Venturirsquos motherrsquos geraniums and a library of widely available library of computer-generated water graphics
Treating images with a sculptural sensibility 2J produces modular systems of furniture objects and installations that collapse the boundary between surface and support and undermine the conventional binaries of repression and expression that so often divide the realms of design and art
WON JU LIMEchoing the colorful dynamic of the Pacific Design Centerrsquos presence as urban landscape are two large-scale mixed media installations by Los Angeles artist Won Ju Lim The works entitled Emerald (2002) and White (2004) typify the artistrsquos play with post-minimalist
sculpture and modernist architectural tropes with its use of translucent and colored Plexiglas units of different sizes stacked up in boxlike shapes to assemble model-scale ldquobuildingsrdquo in futuristic cityscapes Interior light boxes direct light through several layers of Plexiglas to create entirely new visual effects that make the work seem to be lit up from within The artificial materiality of the construction as well as the dramatic setting of the large-scale pieces with their magical use of the light box create its own powerful glowing space The exhibit is curated by Alexandra Lippman
KENNY SCHARFLocated in the Green Lobby is Kenny Scharfrsquos Daisymobile (19752014) a customized Pontiac automobile sculpture that features the artistrsquos iconic imagery For Scharf the car is a natural extension of his practice of transforming mass-produced objects of daily life like televisions and telephones into boldly colored assemblages With their ultramodern design features automobiles of the late 1950s 1960s and 70s are for the artist the personification of the erarsquos optimism and innovation More than just an aestheticization of objects these customized vehicles are Scharfrsquos exuberant maximalist interpretation of what was once Americarsquos futuristic utopia
MAHARAMVisit Maharamrsquos new showroom at the PDC (Suite G-152) designed by architect Neil Logan and British artist Liam Gillick which was recently featured in Architectural Digest In addition to a comprehensive offering of textiles Maharam works with esteemed artists designers photographers and illustrators to create large-scale digitally printed wall installations The Maharam showroom features Maharam Digital Projectsrsquo Orange_Lemon_Chex by GuytonWalker

Design Comes of Age The Blue Whale Celebrates its Ruby Anniversary
ldquoPacific Design Center is a six-story blue presence that is felt from great distancesrdquo -Progressive Architecture 1976
From its inception Pacific Design Center aimed to become a revolutionary force in the world of interior design A transformative West Coast presence seeking to transcend traditional roles of ldquomerchandise martsrdquo as a national hub for decoration culture and events Today PDC is a thriving international design destination housing over 85 showrooms and 2200 product lines a sought-after venue hosting events by some of the worldrsquos leading brands a cultural center home to a satellite branch of the renown Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) and through its designLAb initiative and a dynamic partner to the Hollywood film industry hosting hundreds of screenings and film shoots each year If anniversaries serve as benchmarks of an institutionrsquos overall trajectory then 40 years after its debut it would seem like Pacific Design Center is well underway to becoming the multi-dimensional landmark it set out to be The history of the iconic ldquoBlue Whalerdquo however has hardly been predictable or linear PDCrsquos is a story of early success struggle and reinventionmdash a story not entirely uncommon in a city that rarely ever adheres to convention
ldquoThere is a certain openness a certain lightness to work on the West Coast which allows for and even requires an architecture that is a little more daringrdquo -Caesar Pelli
Makings of a Landmark
What started off as an ambitious attempt to give focus to the thriving Los Angeles interior design and furnishings industry of the 1970s soon became one of the most influential and defining projects for the West Coast interior design trade Originally conceived in 1971 The Pacific Design Center was developed by Gruen Associates and designed by internationally celebrated Argentinian-American architect Cesar Pelli to be purposely ldquoout scale with the neighborhoodrdquo Ron Kates leasing agent for the Design Center at the time shared his own vision for the project explaining that the six-story low-rise aimed to be ldquomore than just a vertical mall of shops but the heart and soul of the decorating business in Los Angelesrdquo The ldquoBlue Whalerdquo as it would be
affectionately known by many in the community was in fact an effort to consolidate the disparate design industry of the Beverly-Robertson area Already a prolific hub for furnishings and interior design Los Angeles was thought to lack a centralized market that could serve as a one-stop shop for professionals looking for sought-after local and international product Given the large scale of the projectmdash a massive 771000 square feet of showroom space with an adjoining 2000 car parking-lot mdash the building would in fact help to shape not only the design industry but by virtue of its size the surrounding area
Construction of the metal and glass structure which received an unprecedented 2-year building permit from the city began in 1973 on land acquired from the Southern Pacific Land Company From an architectural standpoint the titanic asymmetrical building was met with strong skepticism by the community particularly given the daunting sight of its steel skeleton extending far beyond anything in the vicinity ldquoThe building was conceived as an extruded form
cut off at both endsrdquo explains Pelli ldquoan architectural fragment sitting on the ground in a very bright unusual color to make it uniquerdquo However upon itrsquos completion in 1975 it wasnrsquot long before the building received wide praise from admirers around the world given its sophisticated fluid shape and bold blue-glass panels echoing the nearby Pacific Ocean From a leasing perspective the future Design Center was an instant hit boasting a 65 lease rate before its completion By 1976 PDC hosted some of the most recognizable names in interior design and furnishings including Knoll International Herman Miller Kneedler-Fauchegravere Baker and LeeJofa
ldquoDesign defines our individuality This project allows us to create an environment that defines designrdquo -Charles S Cohen
Pieces of a Puzzle Within a decade PDC had become an undisputed leader in West Coast architecture interior design and furnishings WESTWEEK its annual design conference had gathered significant momentum attracting a global audience of nearly 20000 visitors each year The dramatic success of the building along with a 100 occupancy rate lead to the development of an additional 475000 square feet of showroom space known as the Phase II expansion While the original 1970s concept proposed a 3 building complex mdash a rectangular Blue Building a triangular Green Building and a semicircular Red Buildingmdash this much anticipated geometric sequel sought to help solidify the PDC as a local landmark and the heart of the Los Angeles design trade The Green Building was completed in 1988 with a projected 50 brands looking to open or expand showrooms however a sudden shift in the contract and office furnishings industry followed by a drastic economic downturn lead to a steep decline in leases by 1991 ldquoAs we went through the recession the street became more viablerdquo shares Rocky LaFleur who currently works as Hospitality and Residential Outside Sales Representative for Kneedler-Fauchegravere He recalls his
time working with the leasing team at Pacific Design Center and the challenges he faced to fill available showroom space with short-term leases and temporary tenants as a significantly difficult time for the building However there were valuable lessons to be learned from the changing dynamics in the design trade ldquoThe tenants of the building have all learned how to adaptrdquo he explained ldquoevery customer that enters the door today is valued as a resultrdquo

In 1999 prolific Manhattan-based developer Charles S Cohen acquired Pacific Design Center adding the West Coast landmark to his already impressive portfolio of nationwide properties Cohen was no stranger to the design trade owning and operating the iconic Decoration and Design Building in New York City and later the Decorative Center Houston and the Design Center of the Americas Besides dramatic improvements to the infrastructure of the Blue Building to reflect a more contemporary and accurate idea of the interior design trade Cohen transformed the Green Building to luxury office space By diversifying the tenant base he sought to make the campus considerably more approachable and more in line with his vision for the PDC as a leading cultural and entertainment destination ldquoItrsquos about connecting the Design Center to its communityrdquo he explained ldquomost importantly the creative community which is right at our doorsteprdquo However it was yet another key development under Cohenrsquos leadership that would have the greatest impact in shaping the building and fulfilling his vision for the property the construction of the Red Building
ldquoEveryone recognizes that the business as we knew it 30 years ago has changed PDC gives you relationships it gives you connections People are here to be inspiredrdquo -Rocky LaFleur
A Unique Sculpture Garden
Completing Cesar Pellirsquos vision of the PDC as a king-size sculpture garden the City of West Hollywood enthusiastically authorized the development of the Red Building in 2004 By 2012 the 400000 square foot 16-story ruby Red Building joined its Blue and Green counterparts creating one of the most recognizable landmarks in the whole of Los Angeles For Pelli this was no minor accomplishment concluding over four decades of designs revisions and uncertainty as to whether his trilogy would ever come to fruition The Red Building developed as top-of-the-line luxury office space for creative brands employed revolutionary new technologies to attain its striking hue ldquoThis is not a color that exists in a vacuum itrsquos part of a grouprdquo stressed Pelli ldquoand the group needs to work like a great paintingrdquo This harmony of shape and color of course reflected the seamless and natural relationship between culture art and design that now coexisted in the property
The ldquoBlue Whalerdquo also saw a significant resurgence during the early Cohen years attracting some of the most highly respected names in the interior design trade including Thomas Lavin Holly Hunt JANUS et Cie and Summit Many of these names would eventually become synonymous with the PDC and come to represent the caliber of product and talent in the building ldquoThere is a misunderstanding by some people on the street about what the building has to offerrdquo explains Thomas Lavin who recently expanded his prestigious showroom ldquoI think when designers are really doing their shopping they go to PDC and it certainly is the international destination for home furnishingsrdquo While the design trade has and continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace and the role of design centers and showrooms has shifted there is something timeless about the PDC ldquoToday the value of the design center becomes heightened because itrsquos about relationships and about communityrdquo says LaFleur ldquoSo much of the value of this business is people coming together to talk to each-otherrdquo
The Pacific Design Center has come a long way from its beginnings as an effort to consolidate the Los Angeles interior design trade It has become an international design destination fostering strong relationships with leading voices in design like Architectural Digest and Elle Decor and renown designers like Kelly Wearstler Timothy Corrigan and Barbara Barry It has become a sought-after event venue attracting international brands like City of Hope and Land Rover and a hub for international-caliber art exhibitions from the likes of Steve McQueen and Jacob Hashimoto Above all it has embraced the creative community in unprecedented ways opening its doors to exciting new prospects

2JKENNY SCHARFWON JU LIMCurated by Helen Varola designLAb Director
Opening Reception Tuesday March 24 500-930 PMOn view through July 31
Pacific Design Center celebrates its 40th year with a site-specific commissioned installation in the Blue Lobby by 2J (sculptor Justin Beal and painter Jesse Willenbring) that considers the history of Cesar PelliGruen Associatesrsquo groundbreaking design for the Pacific Design Center as well as the buildingrsquos function within the daily commerce of design Two other exhibits in the Lobby refer to the aesthetics of the Pacific Design Center as an iconic urban presence an installation by Won Ju Lim and in the Green Lobby Kenny Scharfrsquos Daisymobile (19752014) a Pontiac automobile the artist re-interpreted in terms of his iconic exuberant style
2J2JPDC a site-specific installation by 2J (sculptor Justin Beal and painter Jesse Willenbring) considers the history of Cesar PelliGruen Associatesrsquo groundbreaking design for the Pacific Design Center as well as the buildingrsquos function within the daily commerce of design
The focal point of the exhibition is an existing system of 2J walls and tables that use vertical and horizontal glass planes that divide the space into layers of superimposed and overlapping imagery The graphic images in 2JPDC printed with a digital process commonly associated with commercial signage draw on a number of historical sources including a 1981 issue of the Japanese Magazine Global Architecture (which includes Kenneth Framptonrsquos essay on Cesar Pelli ldquoBuilding for Megalopolisrdquo) an anecdotal account of Robert Venturirsquos motherrsquos geraniums and a library of widely available library of computer-generated water graphics
Treating images with a sculptural sensibility 2J produces modular systems of furniture objects and installations that collapse the boundary between surface and support and undermine the conventional binaries of repression and expression that so often divide the realms of design and art
WON JU LIMEchoing the colorful dynamic of the Pacific Design Centerrsquos presence as urban landscape are two large-scale mixed media installations by Los Angeles artist Won Ju Lim The works entitled Emerald (2002) and White (2004) typify the artistrsquos play with post-minimalist
sculpture and modernist architectural tropes with its use of translucent and colored Plexiglas units of different sizes stacked up in boxlike shapes to assemble model-scale ldquobuildingsrdquo in futuristic cityscapes Interior light boxes direct light through several layers of Plexiglas to create entirely new visual effects that make the work seem to be lit up from within The artificial materiality of the construction as well as the dramatic setting of the large-scale pieces with their magical use of the light box create its own powerful glowing space The exhibit is curated by Alexandra Lippman
KENNY SCHARFLocated in the Green Lobby is Kenny Scharfrsquos Daisymobile (19752014) a customized Pontiac automobile sculpture that features the artistrsquos iconic imagery For Scharf the car is a natural extension of his practice of transforming mass-produced objects of daily life like televisions and telephones into boldly colored assemblages With their ultramodern design features automobiles of the late 1950s 1960s and 70s are for the artist the personification of the erarsquos optimism and innovation More than just an aestheticization of objects these customized vehicles are Scharfrsquos exuberant maximalist interpretation of what was once Americarsquos futuristic utopia
MAHARAMVisit Maharamrsquos new showroom at the PDC (Suite G-152) designed by architect Neil Logan and British artist Liam Gillick which was recently featured in Architectural Digest In addition to a comprehensive offering of textiles Maharam works with esteemed artists designers photographers and illustrators to create large-scale digitally printed wall installations The Maharam showroom features Maharam Digital Projectsrsquo Orange_Lemon_Chex by GuytonWalker

From its inception Pacific Design Center aimed to become a revolutionary force in the world of interior design A transformative West Coast presence seeking to transcend traditional roles of ldquomerchandise martsrdquo as a national hub for decoration culture and events Today PDC is a thriving international design destination housing over 85 showrooms and 2200 product lines a sought-after venue hosting events by some of the worldrsquos leading brands a cultural center home to a satellite branch of the renown Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) and through its designLAb initiative and a dynamic partner to the Hollywood film industry hosting hundreds of screenings and film shoots each year If anniversaries serve as benchmarks of an institutionrsquos overall trajectory then 40 years after its debut it would seem like Pacific Design Center is well underway to becoming the multi-dimensional landmark it set out to be The history of the iconic ldquoBlue Whalerdquo however has hardly been predictable or linear PDCrsquos is a story of early success struggle and reinventionmdash a story not entirely uncommon in a city that rarely ever adheres to convention
ldquoThere is a certain openness a certain lightness to work on the West Coast which allows for and even requires an architecture that is a little more daringrdquo -Caesar Pelli
Makings of a Landmark
What started off as an ambitious attempt to give focus to the thriving Los Angeles interior design and furnishings industry of the 1970s soon became one of the most influential and defining projects for the West Coast interior design trade Originally conceived in 1971 The Pacific Design Center was developed by Gruen Associates and designed by internationally celebrated Argentinian-American architect Cesar Pelli to be purposely ldquoout scale with the neighborhoodrdquo Ron Kates leasing agent for the Design Center at the time shared his own vision for the project explaining that the six-story low-rise aimed to be ldquomore than just a vertical mall of shops but the heart and soul of the decorating business in Los Angelesrdquo The ldquoBlue Whalerdquo as it would be
affectionately known by many in the community was in fact an effort to consolidate the disparate design industry of the Beverly-Robertson area Already a prolific hub for furnishings and interior design Los Angeles was thought to lack a centralized market that could serve as a one-stop shop for professionals looking for sought-after local and international product Given the large scale of the projectmdash a massive 771000 square feet of showroom space with an adjoining 2000 car parking-lot mdash the building would in fact help to shape not only the design industry but by virtue of its size the surrounding area
Construction of the metal and glass structure which received an unprecedented 2-year building permit from the city began in 1973 on land acquired from the Southern Pacific Land Company From an architectural standpoint the titanic asymmetrical building was met with strong skepticism by the community particularly given the daunting sight of its steel skeleton extending far beyond anything in the vicinity ldquoThe building was conceived as an extruded form
cut off at both endsrdquo explains Pelli ldquoan architectural fragment sitting on the ground in a very bright unusual color to make it uniquerdquo However upon itrsquos completion in 1975 it wasnrsquot long before the building received wide praise from admirers around the world given its sophisticated fluid shape and bold blue-glass panels echoing the nearby Pacific Ocean From a leasing perspective the future Design Center was an instant hit boasting a 65 lease rate before its completion By 1976 PDC hosted some of the most recognizable names in interior design and furnishings including Knoll International Herman Miller Kneedler-Fauchegravere Baker and LeeJofa
ldquoDesign defines our individuality This project allows us to create an environment that defines designrdquo -Charles S Cohen
Pieces of a Puzzle Within a decade PDC had become an undisputed leader in West Coast architecture interior design and furnishings WESTWEEK its annual design conference had gathered significant momentum attracting a global audience of nearly 20000 visitors each year The dramatic success of the building along with a 100 occupancy rate lead to the development of an additional 475000 square feet of showroom space known as the Phase II expansion While the original 1970s concept proposed a 3 building complex mdash a rectangular Blue Building a triangular Green Building and a semicircular Red Buildingmdash this much anticipated geometric sequel sought to help solidify the PDC as a local landmark and the heart of the Los Angeles design trade The Green Building was completed in 1988 with a projected 50 brands looking to open or expand showrooms however a sudden shift in the contract and office furnishings industry followed by a drastic economic downturn lead to a steep decline in leases by 1991 ldquoAs we went through the recession the street became more viablerdquo shares Rocky LaFleur who currently works as Hospitality and Residential Outside Sales Representative for Kneedler-Fauchegravere He recalls his
time working with the leasing team at Pacific Design Center and the challenges he faced to fill available showroom space with short-term leases and temporary tenants as a significantly difficult time for the building However there were valuable lessons to be learned from the changing dynamics in the design trade ldquoThe tenants of the building have all learned how to adaptrdquo he explained ldquoevery customer that enters the door today is valued as a resultrdquo

In 1999 prolific Manhattan-based developer Charles S Cohen acquired Pacific Design Center adding the West Coast landmark to his already impressive portfolio of nationwide properties Cohen was no stranger to the design trade owning and operating the iconic Decoration and Design Building in New York City and later the Decorative Center Houston and the Design Center of the Americas Besides dramatic improvements to the infrastructure of the Blue Building to reflect a more contemporary and accurate idea of the interior design trade Cohen transformed the Green Building to luxury office space By diversifying the tenant base he sought to make the campus considerably more approachable and more in line with his vision for the PDC as a leading cultural and entertainment destination ldquoItrsquos about connecting the Design Center to its communityrdquo he explained ldquomost importantly the creative community which is right at our doorsteprdquo However it was yet another key development under Cohenrsquos leadership that would have the greatest impact in shaping the building and fulfilling his vision for the property the construction of the Red Building
ldquoEveryone recognizes that the business as we knew it 30 years ago has changed PDC gives you relationships it gives you connections People are here to be inspiredrdquo -Rocky LaFleur
A Unique Sculpture Garden
Completing Cesar Pellirsquos vision of the PDC as a king-size sculpture garden the City of West Hollywood enthusiastically authorized the development of the Red Building in 2004 By 2012 the 400000 square foot 16-story ruby Red Building joined its Blue and Green counterparts creating one of the most recognizable landmarks in the whole of Los Angeles For Pelli this was no minor accomplishment concluding over four decades of designs revisions and uncertainty as to whether his trilogy would ever come to fruition The Red Building developed as top-of-the-line luxury office space for creative brands employed revolutionary new technologies to attain its striking hue ldquoThis is not a color that exists in a vacuum itrsquos part of a grouprdquo stressed Pelli ldquoand the group needs to work like a great paintingrdquo This harmony of shape and color of course reflected the seamless and natural relationship between culture art and design that now coexisted in the property
The ldquoBlue Whalerdquo also saw a significant resurgence during the early Cohen years attracting some of the most highly respected names in the interior design trade including Thomas Lavin Holly Hunt JANUS et Cie and Summit Many of these names would eventually become synonymous with the PDC and come to represent the caliber of product and talent in the building ldquoThere is a misunderstanding by some people on the street about what the building has to offerrdquo explains Thomas Lavin who recently expanded his prestigious showroom ldquoI think when designers are really doing their shopping they go to PDC and it certainly is the international destination for home furnishingsrdquo While the design trade has and continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace and the role of design centers and showrooms has shifted there is something timeless about the PDC ldquoToday the value of the design center becomes heightened because itrsquos about relationships and about communityrdquo says LaFleur ldquoSo much of the value of this business is people coming together to talk to each-otherrdquo
The Pacific Design Center has come a long way from its beginnings as an effort to consolidate the Los Angeles interior design trade It has become an international design destination fostering strong relationships with leading voices in design like Architectural Digest and Elle Decor and renown designers like Kelly Wearstler Timothy Corrigan and Barbara Barry It has become a sought-after event venue attracting international brands like City of Hope and Land Rover and a hub for international-caliber art exhibitions from the likes of Steve McQueen and Jacob Hashimoto Above all it has embraced the creative community in unprecedented ways opening its doors to exciting new prospects

Opening Reception Tuesday March 24 500-930 PMOn view through July 31
Pacific Design Center celebrates its 40th year with a site-specific commissioned installation in the Blue Lobby by 2J (sculptor Justin Beal and painter Jesse Willenbring) that considers the history of Cesar PelliGruen Associatesrsquo groundbreaking design for the Pacific Design Center as well as the buildingrsquos function within the daily commerce of design Two other exhibits in the Lobby refer to the aesthetics of the Pacific Design Center as an iconic urban presence an installation by Won Ju Lim and in the Green Lobby Kenny Scharfrsquos Daisymobile (19752014) a Pontiac automobile the artist re-interpreted in terms of his iconic exuberant style
2J2JPDC a site-specific installation by 2J (sculptor Justin Beal and painter Jesse Willenbring) considers the history of Cesar PelliGruen Associatesrsquo groundbreaking design for the Pacific Design Center as well as the buildingrsquos function within the daily commerce of design
The focal point of the exhibition is an existing system of 2J walls and tables that use vertical and horizontal glass planes that divide the space into layers of superimposed and overlapping imagery The graphic images in 2JPDC printed with a digital process commonly associated with commercial signage draw on a number of historical sources including a 1981 issue of the Japanese Magazine Global Architecture (which includes Kenneth Framptonrsquos essay on Cesar Pelli ldquoBuilding for Megalopolisrdquo) an anecdotal account of Robert Venturirsquos motherrsquos geraniums and a library of widely available library of computer-generated water graphics
Treating images with a sculptural sensibility 2J produces modular systems of furniture objects and installations that collapse the boundary between surface and support and undermine the conventional binaries of repression and expression that so often divide the realms of design and art
WON JU LIMEchoing the colorful dynamic of the Pacific Design Centerrsquos presence as urban landscape are two large-scale mixed media installations by Los Angeles artist Won Ju Lim The works entitled Emerald (2002) and White (2004) typify the artistrsquos play with post-minimalist
sculpture and modernist architectural tropes with its use of translucent and colored Plexiglas units of different sizes stacked up in boxlike shapes to assemble model-scale ldquobuildingsrdquo in futuristic cityscapes Interior light boxes direct light through several layers of Plexiglas to create entirely new visual effects that make the work seem to be lit up from within The artificial materiality of the construction as well as the dramatic setting of the large-scale pieces with their magical use of the light box create its own powerful glowing space The exhibit is curated by Alexandra Lippman
KENNY SCHARFLocated in the Green Lobby is Kenny Scharfrsquos Daisymobile (19752014) a customized Pontiac automobile sculpture that features the artistrsquos iconic imagery For Scharf the car is a natural extension of his practice of transforming mass-produced objects of daily life like televisions and telephones into boldly colored assemblages With their ultramodern design features automobiles of the late 1950s 1960s and 70s are for the artist the personification of the erarsquos optimism and innovation More than just an aestheticization of objects these customized vehicles are Scharfrsquos exuberant maximalist interpretation of what was once Americarsquos futuristic utopia

Design Comes of Age The Blue Whale Celebrates its Ruby Anniversary
ldquoPacific Design Center is a six-story blue presence that is felt from great distancesrdquo -Progressive Architecture 1976
From its inception Pacific Design Center aimed to become a revolutionary force in the world of interior design A transformative West Coast presence seeking to transcend traditional roles of ldquomerchandise martsrdquo as a national hub for decoration culture and events Today PDC is a thriving international design destination housing over 85 showrooms and 2200 product lines a sought-after venue hosting events by some of the worldrsquos leading brands a cultural center home to a satellite branch of the renown Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) and through its designLAb initiative and a dynamic partner to the Hollywood film industry hosting hundreds of screenings and film shoots each year If anniversaries serve as benchmarks of an institutionrsquos overall trajectory then 40 years after its debut it would seem like Pacific Design Center is well underway to becoming the multi-dimensional landmark it set out to be The history of the iconic ldquoBlue Whalerdquo however has hardly been predictable or linear PDCrsquos is a story of early success struggle and reinventionmdash a story not entirely uncommon in a city that rarely ever adheres to convention
ldquoThere is a certain openness a certain lightness to work on the West Coast which allows for and even requires an architecture that is a little more daringrdquo -Caesar Pelli
Makings of a Landmark
What started off as an ambitious attempt to give focus to the thriving Los Angeles interior design and furnishings industry of the 1970s soon became one of the most influential and defining projects for the West Coast interior design trade Originally conceived in 1971 The Pacific Design Center was developed by Gruen Associates and designed by internationally celebrated Argentinian-American architect Cesar Pelli to be purposely ldquoout scale with the neighborhoodrdquo Ron Kates leasing agent for the Design Center at the time shared his own vision for the project explaining that the six-story low-rise aimed to be ldquomore than just a vertical mall of shops but the heart and soul of the decorating business in Los Angelesrdquo The ldquoBlue Whalerdquo as it would be
affectionately known by many in the community was in fact an effort to consolidate the disparate design industry of the Beverly-Robertson area Already a prolific hub for furnishings and interior design Los Angeles was thought to lack a centralized market that could serve as a one-stop shop for professionals looking for sought-after local and international product Given the large scale of the projectmdash a massive 771000 square feet of showroom space with an adjoining 2000 car parking-lot mdash the building would in fact help to shape not only the design industry but by virtue of its size the surrounding area
Construction of the metal and glass structure which received an unprecedented 2-year building permit from the city began in 1973 on land acquired from the Southern Pacific Land Company From an architectural standpoint the titanic asymmetrical building was met with strong skepticism by the community particularly given the daunting sight of its steel skeleton extending far beyond anything in the vicinity ldquoThe building was conceived as an extruded form
cut off at both endsrdquo explains Pelli ldquoan architectural fragment sitting on the ground in a very bright unusual color to make it uniquerdquo However upon itrsquos completion in 1975 it wasnrsquot long before the building received wide praise from admirers around the world given its sophisticated fluid shape and bold blue-glass panels echoing the nearby Pacific Ocean From a leasing perspective the future Design Center was an instant hit boasting a 65 lease rate before its completion By 1976 PDC hosted some of the most recognizable names in interior design and furnishings including Knoll International Herman Miller Kneedler-Fauchegravere Baker and LeeJofa
ldquoDesign defines our individuality This project allows us to create an environment that defines designrdquo -Charles S Cohen
Pieces of a Puzzle Within a decade PDC had become an undisputed leader in West Coast architecture interior design and furnishings WESTWEEK its annual design conference had gathered significant momentum attracting a global audience of nearly 20000 visitors each year The dramatic success of the building along with a 100 occupancy rate lead to the development of an additional 475000 square feet of showroom space known as the Phase II expansion While the original 1970s concept proposed a 3 building complex mdash a rectangular Blue Building a triangular Green Building and a semicircular Red Buildingmdash this much anticipated geometric sequel sought to help solidify the PDC as a local landmark and the heart of the Los Angeles design trade The Green Building was completed in 1988 with a projected 50 brands looking to open or expand showrooms however a sudden shift in the contract and office furnishings industry followed by a drastic economic downturn lead to a steep decline in leases by 1991 ldquoAs we went through the recession the street became more viablerdquo shares Rocky LaFleur who currently works as Hospitality and Residential Outside Sales Representative for Kneedler-Fauchegravere He recalls his
time working with the leasing team at Pacific Design Center and the challenges he faced to fill available showroom space with short-term leases and temporary tenants as a significantly difficult time for the building However there were valuable lessons to be learned from the changing dynamics in the design trade ldquoThe tenants of the building have all learned how to adaptrdquo he explained ldquoevery customer that enters the door today is valued as a resultrdquo

In 1999 prolific Manhattan-based developer Charles S Cohen acquired Pacific Design Center adding the West Coast landmark to his already impressive portfolio of nationwide properties Cohen was no stranger to the design trade owning and operating the iconic Decoration and Design Building in New York City and later the Decorative Center Houston and the Design Center of the Americas Besides dramatic improvements to the infrastructure of the Blue Building to reflect a more contemporary and accurate idea of the interior design trade Cohen transformed the Green Building to luxury office space By diversifying the tenant base he sought to make the campus considerably more approachable and more in line with his vision for the PDC as a leading cultural and entertainment destination ldquoItrsquos about connecting the Design Center to its communityrdquo he explained ldquomost importantly the creative community which is right at our doorsteprdquo However it was yet another key development under Cohenrsquos leadership that would have the greatest impact in shaping the building and fulfilling his vision for the property the construction of the Red Building
ldquoEveryone recognizes that the business as we knew it 30 years ago has changed PDC gives you relationships it gives you connections People are here to be inspiredrdquo -Rocky LaFleur
A Unique Sculpture Garden
Completing Cesar Pellirsquos vision of the PDC as a king-size sculpture garden the City of West Hollywood enthusiastically authorized the development of the Red Building in 2004 By 2012 the 400000 square foot 16-story ruby Red Building joined its Blue and Green counterparts creating one of the most recognizable landmarks in the whole of Los Angeles For Pelli this was no minor accomplishment concluding over four decades of designs revisions and uncertainty as to whether his trilogy would ever come to fruition The Red Building developed as top-of-the-line luxury office space for creative brands employed revolutionary new technologies to attain its striking hue ldquoThis is not a color that exists in a vacuum itrsquos part of a grouprdquo stressed Pelli ldquoand the group needs to work like a great paintingrdquo This harmony of shape and color of course reflected the seamless and natural relationship between culture art and design that now coexisted in the property
The ldquoBlue Whalerdquo also saw a significant resurgence during the early Cohen years attracting some of the most highly respected names in the interior design trade including Thomas Lavin Holly Hunt JANUS et Cie and Summit Many of these names would eventually become synonymous with the PDC and come to represent the caliber of product and talent in the building ldquoThere is a misunderstanding by some people on the street about what the building has to offerrdquo explains Thomas Lavin who recently expanded his prestigious showroom ldquoI think when designers are really doing their shopping they go to PDC and it certainly is the international destination for home furnishingsrdquo While the design trade has and continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace and the role of design centers and showrooms has shifted there is something timeless about the PDC ldquoToday the value of the design center becomes heightened because itrsquos about relationships and about communityrdquo says LaFleur ldquoSo much of the value of this business is people coming together to talk to each-otherrdquo
The Pacific Design Center has come a long way from its beginnings as an effort to consolidate the Los Angeles interior design trade It has become an international design destination fostering strong relationships with leading voices in design like Architectural Digest and Elle Decor and renown designers like Kelly Wearstler Timothy Corrigan and Barbara Barry It has become a sought-after event venue attracting international brands like City of Hope and Land Rover and a hub for international-caliber art exhibitions from the likes of Steve McQueen and Jacob Hashimoto Above all it has embraced the creative community in unprecedented ways opening its doors to exciting new prospects

Design Comes of Age The Blue Whale Celebrates its Ruby Anniversary
ldquoPacific Design Center is a six-story blue presence that is felt from great distancesrdquo -Progressive Architecture 1976
From its inception Pacific Design Center aimed to become a revolutionary force in the world of interior design A transformative West Coast presence seeking to transcend traditional roles of ldquomerchandise martsrdquo as a national hub for decoration culture and events Today PDC is a thriving international design destination housing over 85 showrooms and 2200 product lines a sought-after venue hosting events by some of the worldrsquos leading brands a cultural center home to a satellite branch of the renown Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) and through its designLAb initiative and a dynamic partner to the Hollywood film industry hosting hundreds of screenings and film shoots each year If anniversaries serve as benchmarks of an institutionrsquos overall trajectory then 40 years after its debut it would seem like Pacific Design Center is well underway to becoming the multi-dimensional landmark it set out to be The history of the iconic ldquoBlue Whalerdquo however has hardly been predictable or linear PDCrsquos is a story of early success struggle and reinventionmdash a story not entirely uncommon in a city that rarely ever adheres to convention
ldquoThere is a certain openness a certain lightness to work on the West Coast which allows for and even requires an architecture that is a little more daringrdquo -Caesar Pelli
Makings of a Landmark
What started off as an ambitious attempt to give focus to the thriving Los Angeles interior design and furnishings industry of the 1970s soon became one of the most influential and defining projects for the West Coast interior design trade Originally conceived in 1971 The Pacific Design Center was developed by Gruen Associates and designed by internationally celebrated Argentinian-American architect Cesar Pelli to be purposely ldquoout scale with the neighborhoodrdquo Ron Kates leasing agent for the Design Center at the time shared his own vision for the project explaining that the six-story low-rise aimed to be ldquomore than just a vertical mall of shops but the heart and soul of the decorating business in Los Angelesrdquo The ldquoBlue Whalerdquo as it would be
affectionately known by many in the community was in fact an effort to consolidate the disparate design industry of the Beverly-Robertson area Already a prolific hub for furnishings and interior design Los Angeles was thought to lack a centralized market that could serve as a one-stop shop for professionals looking for sought-after local and international product Given the large scale of the projectmdash a massive 771000 square feet of showroom space with an adjoining 2000 car parking-lot mdash the building would in fact help to shape not only the design industry but by virtue of its size the surrounding area
Construction of the metal and glass structure which received an unprecedented 2-year building permit from the city began in 1973 on land acquired from the Southern Pacific Land Company From an architectural standpoint the titanic asymmetrical building was met with strong skepticism by the community particularly given the daunting sight of its steel skeleton extending far beyond anything in the vicinity ldquoThe building was conceived as an extruded form
cut off at both endsrdquo explains Pelli ldquoan architectural fragment sitting on the ground in a very bright unusual color to make it uniquerdquo However upon itrsquos completion in 1975 it wasnrsquot long before the building received wide praise from admirers around the world given its sophisticated fluid shape and bold blue-glass panels echoing the nearby Pacific Ocean From a leasing perspective the future Design Center was an instant hit boasting a 65 lease rate before its completion By 1976 PDC hosted some of the most recognizable names in interior design and furnishings including Knoll International Herman Miller Kneedler-Fauchegravere Baker and LeeJofa
ldquoDesign defines our individuality This project allows us to create an environment that defines designrdquo -Charles S Cohen
Pieces of a Puzzle Within a decade PDC had become an undisputed leader in West Coast architecture interior design and furnishings WESTWEEK its annual design conference had gathered significant momentum attracting a global audience of nearly 20000 visitors each year The dramatic success of the building along with a 100 occupancy rate lead to the development of an additional 475000 square feet of showroom space known as the Phase II expansion While the original 1970s concept proposed a 3 building complex mdash a rectangular Blue Building a triangular Green Building and a semicircular Red Buildingmdash this much anticipated geometric sequel sought to help solidify the PDC as a local landmark and the heart of the Los Angeles design trade The Green Building was completed in 1988 with a projected 50 brands looking to open or expand showrooms however a sudden shift in the contract and office furnishings industry followed by a drastic economic downturn lead to a steep decline in leases by 1991 ldquoAs we went through the recession the street became more viablerdquo shares Rocky LaFleur who currently works as Hospitality and Residential Outside Sales Representative for Kneedler-Fauchegravere He recalls his
time working with the leasing team at Pacific Design Center and the challenges he faced to fill available showroom space with short-term leases and temporary tenants as a significantly difficult time for the building However there were valuable lessons to be learned from the changing dynamics in the design trade ldquoThe tenants of the building have all learned how to adaptrdquo he explained ldquoevery customer that enters the door today is valued as a resultrdquo

In 1999 prolific Manhattan-based developer Charles S Cohen acquired Pacific Design Center adding the West Coast landmark to his already impressive portfolio of nationwide properties Cohen was no stranger to the design trade owning and operating the iconic Decoration and Design Building in New York City and later the Decorative Center Houston and the Design Center of the Americas Besides dramatic improvements to the infrastructure of the Blue Building to reflect a more contemporary and accurate idea of the interior design trade Cohen transformed the Green Building to luxury office space By diversifying the tenant base he sought to make the campus considerably more approachable and more in line with his vision for the PDC as a leading cultural and entertainment destination ldquoItrsquos about connecting the Design Center to its communityrdquo he explained ldquomost importantly the creative community which is right at our doorsteprdquo However it was yet another key development under Cohenrsquos leadership that would have the greatest impact in shaping the building and fulfilling his vision for the property the construction of the Red Building
ldquoEveryone recognizes that the business as we knew it 30 years ago has changed PDC gives you relationships it gives you connections People are here to be inspiredrdquo -Rocky LaFleur
A Unique Sculpture Garden
Completing Cesar Pellirsquos vision of the PDC as a king-size sculpture garden the City of West Hollywood enthusiastically authorized the development of the Red Building in 2004 By 2012 the 400000 square foot 16-story ruby Red Building joined its Blue and Green counterparts creating one of the most recognizable landmarks in the whole of Los Angeles For Pelli this was no minor accomplishment concluding over four decades of designs revisions and uncertainty as to whether his trilogy would ever come to fruition The Red Building developed as top-of-the-line luxury office space for creative brands employed revolutionary new technologies to attain its striking hue ldquoThis is not a color that exists in a vacuum itrsquos part of a grouprdquo stressed Pelli ldquoand the group needs to work like a great paintingrdquo This harmony of shape and color of course reflected the seamless and natural relationship between culture art and design that now coexisted in the property
The ldquoBlue Whalerdquo also saw a significant resurgence during the early Cohen years attracting some of the most highly respected names in the interior design trade including Thomas Lavin Holly Hunt JANUS et Cie and Summit Many of these names would eventually become synonymous with the PDC and come to represent the caliber of product and talent in the building ldquoThere is a misunderstanding by some people on the street about what the building has to offerrdquo explains Thomas Lavin who recently expanded his prestigious showroom ldquoI think when designers are really doing their shopping they go to PDC and it certainly is the international destination for home furnishingsrdquo While the design trade has and continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace and the role of design centers and showrooms has shifted there is something timeless about the PDC ldquoToday the value of the design center becomes heightened because itrsquos about relationships and about communityrdquo says LaFleur ldquoSo much of the value of this business is people coming together to talk to each-otherrdquo
The Pacific Design Center has come a long way from its beginnings as an effort to consolidate the Los Angeles interior design trade It has become an international design destination fostering strong relationships with leading voices in design like Architectural Digest and Elle Decor and renown designers like Kelly Wearstler Timothy Corrigan and Barbara Barry It has become a sought-after event venue attracting international brands like City of Hope and Land Rover and a hub for international-caliber art exhibitions from the likes of Steve McQueen and Jacob Hashimoto Above all it has embraced the creative community in unprecedented ways opening its doors to exciting new prospects

ldquoThere is a certain openness a certain lightness to work on the West Coast which allows for and even requires an architecture that is a little more daringrdquo -Caesar Pelli
Makings of a Landmark
What started off as an ambitious attempt to give focus to the thriving Los Angeles interior design and furnishings industry of the 1970s soon became one of the most influential and defining projects for the West Coast interior design trade Originally conceived in 1971 The Pacific Design Center was developed by Gruen Associates and designed by internationally celebrated Argentinian-American architect Cesar Pelli to be purposely ldquoout scale with the neighborhoodrdquo Ron Kates leasing agent for the Design Center at the time shared his own vision for the project explaining that the six-story low-rise aimed to be ldquomore than just a vertical mall of shops but the heart and soul of the decorating business in Los Angelesrdquo The ldquoBlue Whalerdquo as it would be
affectionately known by many in the community was in fact an effort to consolidate the disparate design industry of the Beverly-Robertson area Already a prolific hub for furnishings and interior design Los Angeles was thought to lack a centralized market that could serve as a one-stop shop for professionals looking for sought-after local and international product Given the large scale of the projectmdash a massive 771000 square feet of showroom space with an adjoining 2000 car parking-lot mdash the building would in fact help to shape not only the design industry but by virtue of its size the surrounding area
Construction of the metal and glass structure which received an unprecedented 2-year building permit from the city began in 1973 on land acquired from the Southern Pacific Land Company From an architectural standpoint the titanic asymmetrical building was met with strong skepticism by the community particularly given the daunting sight of its steel skeleton extending far beyond anything in the vicinity ldquoThe building was conceived as an extruded form
cut off at both endsrdquo explains Pelli ldquoan architectural fragment sitting on the ground in a very bright unusual color to make it uniquerdquo However upon itrsquos completion in 1975 it wasnrsquot long before the building received wide praise from admirers around the world given its sophisticated fluid shape and bold blue-glass panels echoing the nearby Pacific Ocean From a leasing perspective the future Design Center was an instant hit boasting a 65 lease rate before its completion By 1976 PDC hosted some of the most recognizable names in interior design and furnishings including Knoll International Herman Miller Kneedler-Fauchegravere Baker and LeeJofa
ldquoDesign defines our individuality This project allows us to create an environment that defines designrdquo -Charles S Cohen
Pieces of a Puzzle Within a decade PDC had become an undisputed leader in West Coast architecture interior design and furnishings WESTWEEK its annual design conference had gathered significant momentum attracting a global audience of nearly 20000 visitors each year The dramatic success of the building along with a 100 occupancy rate lead to the development of an additional 475000 square feet of showroom space known as the Phase II expansion While the original 1970s concept proposed a 3 building complex mdash a rectangular Blue Building a triangular Green Building and a semicircular Red Buildingmdash this much anticipated geometric sequel sought to help solidify the PDC as a local landmark and the heart of the Los Angeles design trade The Green Building was completed in 1988 with a projected 50 brands looking to open or expand showrooms however a sudden shift in the contract and office furnishings industry followed by a drastic economic downturn lead to a steep decline in leases by 1991 ldquoAs we went through the recession the street became more viablerdquo shares Rocky LaFleur who currently works as Hospitality and Residential Outside Sales Representative for Kneedler-Fauchegravere He recalls his
time working with the leasing team at Pacific Design Center and the challenges he faced to fill available showroom space with short-term leases and temporary tenants as a significantly difficult time for the building However there were valuable lessons to be learned from the changing dynamics in the design trade ldquoThe tenants of the building have all learned how to adaptrdquo he explained ldquoevery customer that enters the door today is valued as a resultrdquo
