Think interior design showroom with the cerebral vibe of a salon centered around great art. Located in The Art Place in Palm Desert, the factory loftturned-gallery offers an ambiance of intimate elegance with an industrial edge. Lawrence Lazzaro and Nicholas Hertneck, owners of Nicholas Lawrence Design, created the space with mindful attention to the overall gallery experience. Plank-style flooring, designed in flow patterns, gently guides people through four distinctive gallery spaces, and strategically placed antiques and furnishings throughout create a sense of scale and what the art might look like in a home. “Since our first business is interior design and architecture, we approached the gallery as interior designers and architects and questioned every aspect along the way,” Lazzaro explained. The design team also renounced the customary white interior favored by many colorful and immediate, which appeals to our galleries, painting the walls Farrow & Ball’s designer/architect aesthetics. With closer Hague Blue — a deep blue-gray that makes study, his work is provocative and intimate, everything look brighter, according to Lazzaro. and these aspects appeal to our art collector “It silhouettes people beautifully and makes the selves,” Lazzaro said of the gallery’s debut show. “We like the idea of representing artists whose art really pop.” On February 19th, from 4pm – 8pm, Gallery work appeals to us as both art collector and Lazzaro celebrates its grand opening with designer/architect.” Gallery Lazzaro • The Art Place Desires of the Collective Unconscious; the 41801 Corporate Way, Ste#13 Works of David Stanton.
