On September 16, Arte—the second-generation, family-owned Belgian company renowned for its luxurious wallcoverings—unveiled the redesign of its Los Angeles showroom at the Pacific Design Center with an intimate luncheon for select local designers. Co-hosted by Kelly Phillips Badal, homes editor for the Los Angeles, Southern California, and Colorado + the Rockies editions of Luxe Interior + Design, the event welcomed a group of 15, who gathered for a first look at the refreshed space and Arte’s wide range of designs. Among those in attendance were Carole Carr of Carole Carr Design; Emma DeRoche of Emma DeRoche Interior Design; Edel Legaspi of Legaspi Courts Design; Tracy Metro of Tracy Metro Designs; and Hema Persad of Sagrada Studio.
Jim Scheurer, Arte’s Area Sales Manager, shared: “For over 40 years, Arte has partnered with U.S. designers to help them bring their visions to life through creative collaboration. We’re looking forward to welcoming California designers to our revitalized Los Angeles showroom to explore our fabulous array of wallcovering options. The Los Angeles market has been very supportive of Arte, and we’re excited to continue to collaborate for years to come.”
