Frogtown itself is a wonderfully weird and complex corner of L.A., a confluence of urban grit, natural beauty, cultural foment, hip restaurants and inviting bike paths. Read the digital edition of Design L.A. »The new life in Frogtown exemplifies the new spirit in our city, which this issue of DesignLA celebrates in different ways. There’s Kimpton’s glam new La Peer Hotel in West Hollywood (page 54), designed by Gulla Jonsdottir, and the new design showrooms of Lindsey Adelman (page 31), Loro Piana (page 16), Knoll (page 20) and Una Malan (page 15). Gustavo Dudamel, the mercurial music director of the L.A. Phil, talks with Los Angeles Times music critic Mark Swed about Los Angeles, his new adopted home (page 23). DesignLA will be published by the Los Angeles Times four times this year (in March, June, September and November) as part of the paper’s dedicated coverage of the exciting scene that is Los Angeles now.
