Over 400 design enthusiasts, media, and supporters of Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts attended the standing-room-only “Empty House Party” on Friday, January 20. The annual tradition celebrates the night before designers begin their work transforming a mansion that will debut as the Pasadena Showcase House of Design. This year’s designers are reimagining Stewart House, a 1933 grand colonial estate on two acres of spectacularly manicured grounds in Pasadena. The soiree, chaired by Lynne Graves, treated guests and media to a sneak peek of the mansion which features 11,000 square feet of living space and multiple themed gardens. During the evening, guests meandered through the nearly 30 design spaces to view various designer concepts and installations while enjoying great cuisine and live music by Art Deco Entertainment. The 58th Pasadena Showcase House of Design will be open April 23 through May 21, 2023. For tickets and information, visit pasadenashowcase.org.
