L.A. Mart Design Center Offers Furniture Sample Sale

 

Between May 31 and June 1, 2008, L.A. Mart^® Design Center will open its doors to the public and offer up to 70% below wholesale as part of their year-long 50th Anniversary celebration. Since this special furniture sample sale coincides with the Avenues of Art & Design in West Hollywood, it’s a perfect time for design aficionados to visit L.A.

Visitors arriving on Saturday morning have the opportunity to get insider shopping tips from designer Christopher Gaona of Christopher Gaona, Inc, a Santa Monica based design firm. Gaona will be available in the redesigned Main Lobby to offer shoppers advice on how to navigate the sale like a professional designer.

“Be open to the unexpected,” says Gaona, regarding the design process. ”As long as color and scale work, don’t be afraid to mix very different elements that can create a synergy that neither element would possess on its own. Who says you can’t have a Louis XV commode paired with a modern glass dining table and simple white slip-covered chairs in a dining room? As long as the scale and colors work, don’t be afraid.” 

Savvy shoppers can find excellent savings on a wide variety of high-quality furniture, lighting, and art and home accessories. “We are excited to open up the L.A. Mart Design Center to consumers throughout the region for this home shopping event. We offer exceptional deals from the biggest names in high-style furniture and home furnishings,” said Michael Kessler, L.A. Mart Design Center vice president and general manager. “The combination of shopping our showrooms plus the exhibitors on our new 2^nd Floor Exhibit Hall will make this a shop-till-you-drop event!” 

Brands available at the sale include Barclay Butera Home, Century Furniture, Lane Venture and Tommy Bahama.
