Attention, design lovers! The 13th annual Dwell on Design conference is returning to the Los Angeles Convention Center from April 5-7, 2018. A longtime magnet for design enthusiasts and professionals, Dwell on Design showcases the latest in modern architecture, design, technology, and more. This year, the conference also boasts designer Jonathan Adler, photographer Seph Lawless, and educator Paula Wallace among its speakers.
The exhibition kicks off on Wednesday, April 4 at the Pacific Design Center. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from the architects behind Dwell’s Home Tours, which offer a behind-the-scenes look at innovative homes throughout Los Angeles. The next day will feature iconic American designer Jonathan Adler as the main stage speaker. Adler began his career with a small pottery operation and has since expanded it into a major design empire with operations online and around the world. He has also designed such notable interior spaces as the Parker Palm Springs and the Andaz West Hollywood in California.
