This is curated chill, the aspire design and home podcast. I’m Josh Cooperman, director of broadcast media for Hudson One Media and this week, we are continuing our coverage of the Legends of La Cienega, the annual event produced and presented by the La Cienega Design Quarter. The LCDQ is comprised of a select group of showrooms that line La Cienega, Melrose Blvd. and Melrose Place. For more than half a century, this distinguished group of showrooms has served LA’s vibrant design community. Legends is a celebration of design and more specifically, the designers who create it. This year, three days between May 3rd and 5th showcased conversations, panels, parties, exhibits and gatherings, all in celebration of amazing design. This years theme, California: The Golden State of Design.

This episode of curated chill features a one-on-one interview with Rose Tarlow, Known around the world for antiques and incredible furnishing finds, opened R. Tarlow in 1976 and what became Rose Tarlow Melrose House is predicated on a very simple idea, every piece must have its own personality. The following conversation took place at Harbinger on La Cienega and was moderated by Luxe Interiors + Design’s Pamela Jaccarino.

Some things to listen for in this chat. Rose is not consumed with the idea that objects need to be worshipped, instead, that they be used and enjoyed. Tarlow is a storyteller and it makes sense as she discussed the ideas behind furnishings that tell the story of the lives of the people who use them. This was a very fun conversation, we are proud to bring this to you on curated chill, the official podcast of aspire design and home.

Thank you Rose Tarlow for sharing your story. Thank you, Pamela for moderating, the La Cienega Design Quarter for making this possible. Thank you to our partners and sponsors like FiberSeal NE for their support and thank you for listening to the show.
