Intimate conversation.

Rapport founder Amira Hashish was joined in conversation with some of America’s most coveted interior designers and real estate innovators as we transported the Design Lounge from London to Los Angeles.

Very special guests Jake Arnold, Erick Garcia, Tiffany Howell and Leo Grifka discussed the art of curating an amazing space, home makeover tips and the future of hospitality.

The Design Lounge, produced by Rapport, has established a loyal following in the UK since it was established more than five years ago. Taking place in Soho House clubs across London, it has hosted some of Europe’s most high profile members of the design, home and property community. So the inaugural US event was always going to be a special occasion.

The stellar cast engaged in open conversation in front of a buzzing audience at the iconic Soho House West Hollywood. As the sun set over Los Angeles, the sprawling backdrop of the Hollywood Hills made for quite the setting.

When the panel drew to a close, the cocktails flowed and guests shared more stories and ideas with Soho House members.

Jake Arnold is the founder of The Expert and interior designer for the likes of Chrissy Teigen, Rashida Jones, Dan Levy, and Aaron Paul.

Erick Garia of Maison Trouvaille has Julie Sarinana, Chriselle Lim, Jen Atkin, Marianna Hewitt and Deski Perkins knocking on his door.

Whilst Night Palm’s Tiffany Howell works on boutique hotels, high-end retail and residential homes for artist and celebrity clientele.

Leo Grifka is a real estate conisseur who owns Palihotel Culver City and the Short Stories Hotel in West Hollywood.
