Designer Lounge

Stylish spaces that blend fashionable aesthetics with purposeful design are no longer just a benefit to clients of interior professionals. Now LAMDC offers that same luxury to its most loyal trade customers with the Designer Lounge.

Open on LAMDC’s 12th Floor, this private work environment offers designers and their clients a comfortable yet decidedly L.A.-inspired setting to review project plans and product selections, source additional ideas, access information and internet services … or merely relax with a complimentary beverage. The design plan interprets an urban yet timeless sensibility. Clean, contemporary upholstered and casegood furnishings populate the organized research, lounging and meeting areas, complemented by a crisp, light-reflecting color palette with walls punctuated in graphic tones and patterns. An outdoor rooftop terrace offering conversation seating embellished by potted landscaping and graphic paint treatments underscore LAMDC’s downtown city vibe.

L.A. Mart® Design Center is proud to partner with its contract showroom partner The Grace Group, the showroom’s select mix of top commercial furnishings manufacturers, in creating LAMDC’s latest designer amenity.
