This Beautiful Celebration Of Art And Design May Redefine Both
It’s a bright and beautiful day in West Hollywood, but there is an autumnal crispness in the air that seems appropriate for turning over a new leaf. That is why it is a perfect time to be at the Luminaire showroom. On the coming Saturday, they will celebrate an exciting collaboration with Loisir Art Gallery. So I have arrived for an advance tour of the exquisitely appointed showroom with some very special guests.
Lars Hypko of Luminaire greets us so warmly, he could easily be escorting us into his own gracious home. This feeling of familial welcome is reinforced by the presence of his wife Fernanda Hypko — an art specialist who co-conceived Loisir — and their lovely child. Also on hand is artist Todd Williamson; several of his works are currently on display at Luminaire. And art adviser Wil Phearson III is also with us to offer his thoughtful perspective on these exciting juxtapositions of art and design.
