Design Icon Series Honors Larry Laslo at Las Vegas Market
Larry Laslo Named a ‘Design Icon’ at the Summer Las Vegas Furniture Market
August 2008
Larry Laslo was named a “Design Icon” as part of the World Market Center’s Design Icon lecture series at last week’s Las Vegas Market. Laslo is the second Design Icon to be honored in this fashion, with the first being Vladmir Kagan at the previous Winter Las Vegas Market.
In the exclusive lecture series, design legends share their stories and experiences in order to inspire future designers.
Laslo is one of the foremost product designers in the world that embraces an eclectic, “livable contemporary” style and whose designs have graced the editorial pages of Architectural Digest, The New York Times, House & Garden, Vogue, Elle Décor, Vanity Fair, Town & Country, Veranda and W. His projects include the interior design of Takashimaya’s flagship store on Fifth Avenue, and the highly regarded look and feel of Bergdorf Goodman, in addition to the one-of-a-kind homes he designs throughout the country.
While presenting designer Larry Laslo with his award, World Market Center Las Vegas President and Chief Executive Officer Robert Maricich commended the designer for his past work and said the award looked to the future just as much as recognizing his past work.
“We realize that your best work is being done right now and will be done in the future,” Maricich told Laslo.
During his colorful talk to a standing room only crowd, Laslo spoke about his huge range of clients and showed many projects, including his own home.
“It’s fun to play with fashion,” Laslo said, speaking of his love for patent leather and animal prints. “It used to be that home furnishings followed on the heels of fashion but now they are neck in neck.”
Laslo showed his new fabric and furnishings for Robert Allen|Beacon Hill’s showroom, including unlikely combinations of taupes and lavenders.
“Purple is back, as is shades of gray, and green is now mainstream,” Laslo noted.
