Pacific Design Center

Something of an architectural and cultural landmark, the Pacific Design Center is the West Coast's largest facility for interior design goods and fine furnishings. It houses 200 showrooms filled with furniture, fabrics, flooring, wallcoverings, kitchen and bath fixtures, lighting, art, and accessories. Locals refer to the PDC as the "Blue Whale" in reference to its exterior, composed entirely of brilliant blue glass. Technically, businesses here sell to the trade only, and their wholesale prices reflect that; for a small fee, however, the center will provide a decorator-for-the-day to serve as official broker for your purchase.

8687 Melrose Ave, West Hollywood, L.A.'s Westside Beverly Hills. Phone: 310/657-0800.
