World Market Center to Honor Larry Laslo as Design Icon Designer During Las Vegas Market
June 2008
World Market Center Las Vegas will honor Larry Laslo of Larry Laslo Designs as a Design Icon during the Summer 2008 Las Vegas Market, July 28–Aug. 1.
Laslo will discuss highlights of his life as a designer and sources of his inspiration, and share insights into the business of design as part of WMC’s Design Icon Lecture series. Laslo is the second Design Icon to be honored, with the first being Vladmir Kagan at the previous Winter Las Vegas Market.
Laslo’s talk will take place Thursday, July 31, 2:30 p.m. on the third floor of the new Building C, space C-136.
Laslo will cover the purposes of design, how design evolves and relationships with clients, and plans to share stories about “crazy clients” and stories of his work on projects in New York City, Mexico City, Aspen, Beverly Hills and the Hamptons. After the lecture, The Robert Allen Group will honor Laslo with a reception event, 4–6 p.m., in Robert Allen│Beacon Hill’s new showroom in Building C-101.
“I am part psychiatrist, part lover, part husband and part designer,” Laslo said. “The families I work for become my family. I am doing third and fourth houses for them. The first house is hard; just like the first marriage.”
His new fabric collection “Larry Laslo Designs for Robert Allen” features more than 250 fabrics. In addition to the first collections launched in 2007, Larry will preview his next collections of upholstery and window fabrics and also a new trim collection at Robert Allen|Beacon Hill showroom during Summer Las Vegas Market.
Laslo also has created furniture collections for John Widdicomb, Ferguson Copeland and Directional; china for Mikasa and Royal Limoges; lighting for Frederick Cooper; art for Rosenbaum; and pottery for Haeger, to name just a few.
